de Ugarte Postigo (DARK/NBI), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report:
"Following the detection of the optical afterglow to the INTEGRAL GRB
101112A (Gotz et al., GCNC 11396), we have undertaken observations of
the region with the 1.5-m telescope at Sierra Nevada Obs. (Spain) on Nov
13 and with the 6.0-m BTA at SAO-RAS in Zelenchukskaia (Russia) on Nov
14 and Nov 15. At the location of the optical afterglow (Guidorzi et
al., GCNC 11397, de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCNC 11398) a faint source
with R-band magnitude about 23 was detected on Nov 14.766 UT, which was
below the detection limit on Nov 15.838 UT. This value should be
compared with R = 15.6, as derived from the BOOTES-2/TELMA early time
images on Nov 12.9260 UT (a value that supersedes the one given on GCNC
11398 which was based on a wrong photometric calibration). The fact that
the optical counterpart is blended (1."2) with a brighter star (with R
about 18) has made useless the attempted spectroscopy on Nov 14.8 UT."
