collaboration:
We observed the GRB 130504A field (BAT trigger 555096; Cummings et al. GCN
14551) with the 0.82m IAC80 telescope. The data were acquired in the
I-band. The observations started at 02:22:30.6 UT (~17 min post burst) and
lasted ~1.5 hours.
An object, coincident with the enhanced XRT position (D'Avanzo et al.
14558), shows a clear fading in our images. The optical candidate is
placed at RA(J2000)=18:09:49.44, DEC(J2000)=-16:18:48.0 with a Vega
magnitude of I=18.1 (against USNO B1.0) in our first images.
