D. A. Perley, J. S. Bloom, M. Modjaz, and D. Kocevski (UC Berkeley) report:
We slewed to the afterglow position with the Keck I telescope (+LRIS)
and began taking imaging exposures at 12:50:58 UT, ten minutes after the
trigger. By visual comparsion with the DSS we identify a faint
candidate optical afterglow at the position:
RA = 00:33:47.412
dec = +61:03:34.09
Further observations of the afterglow candidate are ongoing.
