Cameron (U. of St Andrews, UK) report:\n\n\"We have compared Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) R-band images (Dec\n27.48 1998 UT) with the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS; 'Second Epoch\nSouthern' survey, UK Schmidt red filter), at the position of the\nBeppoSAX NFI source (BeppoSAX mail 98/26) in the error box of GRB\n981226 (Di Ciolo et al. IAUCirc 7074). The AAT image shows a point\nsource at RA = 23h29m35.0s, Dec = -23d56'31'' which is not visible in\nthe DSS. The position is accurate to 2 arcsec (1-sigma). We calibrated\nthe field using the standard field PG0231+051 (Landolt 1992, AJ 104,\n340) and obtain R = 21.04 +- 0.10 for the point source. We cannot\nestablish whether the source is related to GRB 981226 as this is a\ncomparison between different filters, but it is a possible candidate.\"\n\nThis message is citeable.",
