J. Gorosabel, V. Casanova, R. Garrido, A.J. Castro-Tirado,
M. Jelinek, de Ugarte Postigo, (IAA-CSIC), report:
We have carried out R-band observations starting at 23:49 UT
(~37 min after the GRB) with the 1.5m OSN telescope. A visual
comparison reveals an object placed at:
RA(J2000) = 00:48:56.1
DEC(J2000)= 22:36:32
not present on the DSS. A finding chart will be shortly available
at http://www.dsri.dk/~jgu/grb050824/FCs/osn.R.gif
The object has a magnitude of R~18. Further observations would
be required to confirm whether the object is fading."
