F. Ciabattari, S. Donati, E. Mazzoni, G. Petroni and M. Rossi (Monte Agliale Observatory, Borgo a
Mozzano, Italy) report:
We observed the field of GRB 141004A (D'Elia et al. GCN 16878) with the automatic
0.5m f/4.6 Newtonian telescope + FLI Proline PL4710 camera at
Monte Agliale Observatory (Borgo a Mozzano, Italy, MPC code 159).
The observations started at 2014-10-04 23:25:05 UT (~ 4 minutes after the
burst trigger) and we co-added 19 unfiltered CCD exposures of 30 seconds each.
We detect a new source of mag. R = 17.6 +/-0.2 (USNO-B1 catalogue, not corrected
for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB) at the following position:
R.A.(J2000) = 05h 06m 56.18s
Dec.(J2000) = +12d 49' 10.9"
