GCN 19260) with Gemini-North and GMOS. Observations were taken in the r-band, starting at 07:23 UT, approximately 58 minutes after the burst. Several objects are present in the field close to the refined XRT position (Osborne et al. GCN 19261). The closest objects are a compact source (A) and a more extended galaxy (B). The locations of these sources are: \n\nSource A: \nRA(J2000) 08h 10m 29.81s\nDEC(J2000) 71d 07��� 43.7��� \n\nSource B: \nRA(J2000) 08h 10m 29.32s\nDEC(J2000) 71d 07��� 40.5���\n\nwith an uncertainty of approximately 0.3��� in each co-ordinate. Conditions were not photometric at the time of the observations, but comparison with USNO-B1 sources in the field of view suggests that source A has a magnitude of r~24.5, source B is approximately a magnitude brighter. \n\nWe thank the Gemini staff for the rapid execution of these observations.���",
