P.A. Price and D.W. Fox (Caltech) report:
A finding chart for the optical afterglow candidate reported in GCN #1731
is available from
http://darkalf.caltech.edu/~pap/hete2493.ps
The star marked "Offset1" is at approximate coordinates:
8:08:58.387 6:43:25.83 J2000
and the offset to the afterglow candidate is 22.29" E and 12.72" N.
At this stage in analysis, we estimate that the afterglow was R ~ 19 mag
at Dec 11, 11:39 UT, and fading.
No spectroscopy can be done with Keck or Palomar 200-inch. We encourage
any other observers to obtain spectroscopic observations with available
resources.
Further imaging observations are underway.
