Perley (UC Berkeley) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:\n\nWe imaged the field of possibly short GRB 100816A (Oates et al.\nGCN 11102) with Gemini-N/GMOS, beginning about 11:33 (UT),\napproximately 11 hours post-burst.\n\nThe afterglow detected by UVOT and confirmed to be fading\nby the TNG (Antonelli et al. GCN 11104) is clearly detected at\na magnitude R~22.4, calibrated against USNO-B1 stars in the\nfield. We also detect a relatively bright galaxy centred about 1.2 arcsec\nsouth of the afterglow, which may well be the host of the burst.\nThe magnitude of the galaxy is comparable to that of the\nafterglow at this time.\n\nAnalysis of spectroscopic observations is ongoing.\n\nWe thank the Gemini observers, particularly Alexander\nFritz, for their assistance in obtaining these observations.",
