report:

"We have examined the position of the Swift/XRT 
candidate afterglow for GRB 050911 (Page et al. 
GCNC 3967) in our 0.6m telescope (+MOA camera) 
images (Tristram et al. GCNC 3965). In the 7.5"
radius X-ray error box, we find three optical 
sources, which seem to be detected as well in the 
corresponding DSS-2 red-band plates. Coordinates
(J2000) yield:
 
#1 00:54:37.87 -38:51:03.6
#2 00:54:38.10 -38:50:59.7
#3 00:54:38.14 -38:50:56.0

Error= ± 0.5"
