J. Gorosabel (IAA-CSIC, Granada), U. Carsenty (DLR, Berlin), P.
Kubanek (IAA-CSIC, Granada & U. of Valencia), G. Hahn (DLR,
Berlin), report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
"We have carried out R-band observations of the Swift GRB 101008A
(Baumgartner et al., GCNC 11318, GCNC 11319) with the 1.23m Calar Alto
telescope. The observations were carried out in R-band on October
8.7957-8.8118 UT (2.38 - 2.76 hours post trigger) under poor
atmospheric conditions. We do not detect any optical source consistent
with the XRT error circle (Baumgartner et al., GCNC 11319) down to a
limiting magnitude of R=19.7 (3 sigma, calibrated against USNO-B1.0)".
