collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB100117A (De Pasquale et al., GCN 10336) with
the Nordic Optical Telescope equipped with StanCam and NOTCam, starting
at 21:26:40 UT on Jan 17th, 20.35 mins after the burst trigger. The
observations were carried out at high airmass (~2) and in poor seeing.
In a 900 s R-band image, starting at 21:48:42 UT, we notice the presence
of a faint, marginally significant object at coordinates:
RA(J2000)=00h 45m 04.75s
Dec(J2000)=-01d 35' 47.4"
with an error circle of 0.5 arcsec. If real, its magnitude is R =
22.5+/-0.5.
The co-addition of a series of K-band images doesn't show any convincing
counterpart on the position.
