GCN 12423)\nwith Gemini-South in the r-band. Observations began at 03:12 UT, 5\nhours after the BAT trigger. Within the refined XRT error circle\n(Beardmore GCN 12425) we locate a single object at\n\nRA(J2000) 04:04:48.24 \nDEC(J2000) -32:42:33.4\n\nwith an error of 0.5\" in each axis. Preliminary photometry against\nUSNO-B1 suggests R~22.8.  We suggest this may be the afterglow of\nGRB 111008A. Further spectroscopic observations are in progress.\n\nWe thank the Gemini staff for the rapid and efficient execution of\nthese observations.\"",
