Pagani (U Leicester) report on\nbehalf of the Swift/UVOT team:\n\nThe Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB\n120612A 148 s after the BAT trigger (Pagani et al., GCN Circ.\n13357).  No new optical afterglow consistent with the XRT posistion\n(Evans et al., GCN Circ. 13359) is detected in the initial UVOT\nexposures.\n\nWe note that there is a DSS source, which complicates the UVOT\nanalysis, located at RA, DEC = 126.72113, -17.57439.  This source\nlies 3.05 arcsec from the XRT position and may or may not be related\nto GRB 120612A, though we see no sign of variability in the source\nin the first 1500 s of UVOT observations.  The source is also listed\nin the USNOB catalog with a color of (B-R) = 0.728, corrected for\nGalactic reddening.\n\nFollow-up observations are encouraged to determine a redshift for\nthe DSS source to determine whether this is potentially the host galaxy.",
