D'Elia report on behalf of the REM team:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 130816A (Holland et al., GCN 15097) simultaneously in the optical and near-infrared with the the 60-cm robotic telescope REM at La Silla Observatory (Chile). The observations started at 01:47:56 UT, about 1 min after the GRB.\n\nWe detect a faint source compatible with the XRT position and not present in the 2MASS catalogue with coordinates:\n\nRA (J2000) = 13:08:33.80\nDEC (J2000) = -58:56:41.2\n\nwith an estimated uncertainty of +- 0.5 arcsec.\nPreliminary photometry indicates that the sources was at H = 15.0 +- 0.20 (Vega) about 100 s after the burst. \n\nFurther observations are in progress to assess its variability.",
