E. Berger (Carnegie) and A. Burgasser (MIT) report:
"We observed the position of GRB 070508 (GCN 6383) with MAGIC on the
Magellan/Clay 6.5 m telescope starting 28 min after the burst. In a 180
sec I-band image we detect a bright object not visible in DSS within the
XRT error circle at:
RA = 20:51:12.07
DEC = -78:23:07.0
with an uncertainty of about 0.5". This is about 2.5" away from the UVOT
position."
