Bloom (UC Berkeley) report:\n\nWe observed the position of INTEGRAL GRB 110708A (Gotz et al., GCN \n12112) with the 1-meter Nickel telescope at Lick Observatory starting at \n07:30:18 UT, 2.78 hours after the trigger.  We acquired four exposures \nof 300 seconds each (20 minutes total integration) in the I-band filter.\n\nThe XRT position given by D'Elia et al. (GCN 12115) lies near the center \nof an asterism of five bright, nearby point-sources (one of which is \ninside the XRT error circle), all of which are also visible in USNO \nimaging and are likely Galactic stars.  There is a possible, marginal \ndetection of a fainter source within the XRT error circle at:\n\nRA=22:40:27.33, dec=+53:57:42.8 (J2000)\n\nThe approximate magnitude of this object, if real, is I~20.5 (calibrated \nrelative to USNO I-band).  It is fainter than the DSS limit and also too \nfaint to clearly detect in individual exposures, so we cannot \nconclusively associate it with GRB 110708A at this time.\n\nWe identify no other objects within the XRT error circle to a limiting \nmagnitude of I > 20.3, although the limit is complicated due to crowding \nfrom the nearby stars.",
