Quinn (University of Notre Dame)\n\nWe observed the entire error box of the GRB 021201 burst\n(GCN 1719) with the NOAO WIYN telescope on 2002 Dec. 5.5 (UT).\nThe 3x600s R-band images were taken in 1.2\" seeing. We confirm\nthe presence of a bright optical source near the Chandra x-ray\nsource #10 (GCN 1741) identified by Castro Cerón et al. (GCN 1743).\nThe optical source is USNO-A2.0 1050.05586294 listed\nin the catalog at 08:07:49.350 +21:12:33.66 (J2000) and\nR=18.9. We estimate the brightness at R=20.4 using a zero\npoint from a nearby Landolt standard star field. To search\nfor fainter objects, we subtracted a PSF scaled to the\npeak of the USNO star and found no other sources brighter\nthan R=23.3 within 4\" of the Chandra #10 x-ray position.",
