Lipunov (Sternberg Astronomical\nInstitute, Moscow State University) report:\n\nSince the error box of GRB 140801A (FERMI trigger 428612396) was not\ncovered by Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we have used the digitized\nPalomar plates of this area to create the color-combined finder chart\nand to estimate the upper limits on the host galaxy of this burst.\nThere are in total 12 plates available (POSS-I red and blue ones from\n1953 and 1954, two Quick-V plates from 1982 and six POSS-II plates\nfrom 1991-1995: 2 blue, 2 red and 2 infrared). There is nothing at the\nposition of MASTER optical transient (Gorbovskoy et al., GCN 16653) on\nany individual plates, as well as on their combination to the limiting\nmagnitude ~22.5.\n\n5'x5' color-combined finder chart centered at MASTER OT\nJ025616.43+305617.0 is uploaded to\nhttp://master.sai.msu.ru/static/GRB/GRB140801A-BRIR5x5.jpg (position\nof the OT is marked with dashes). We also note the nearby white dwarf\n44\" north of the OT which is marked by an arrow. It has the following\nentries in the major catalogues:\n\nUSNO-B1.0 1209-0038230 (02 56 16.581 +30 57 02.09 pmRA=88 pmDE=32\nB1=15.37 R1=15.54 B2=15.74 R2=16.06 I=16.20)\nGALEX J025616.6+305702 (FUV=15.09+/-0.02 NUV=15.41+/-0.01)\n2MASS J02561657+3057017 (J=16.12+/-0.09)\n\nThere is no mention of its variability in the literature. However, it\nshould be used with caution in photometric purposes.\n\nThis message can be cited.",
