report:
We looked at the DSS image of the field of the short GRB 050724 (Covino
et al., GCN 3665). We note the presence of a faint object located at
RA: 16h 24m 44.9s DEC -27d 32' 33.3" (J2000) and centered on XRT
position (Covino et al., GCN 3665) which is under the threshold of both
USNO and 2MASS catalogues. We estimated a R mag for this object of 19.1
calibrating with the nearby USNO star (U600_20428424 RA: 16:24:47.92,
DEC: -27:32:21.05 R=16.5 mag).
