"Using the ALFOSC at the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope, La Palma, we have
obtained 2 x 2 mosaic CCD images covering the HETE-2 error circle of
GRB/XRF 040912 (Butler et al., GCNC 2701) on two epochs. Each pointing
consists of 3 x 300 sec in the R band.
Comparison of the two epochs (Sep 12.92-12.97 and Sep 13.19-13.24 2004 UT)
through visual inspection and difference imaging does not reveal any sources
exhibiting significant variability between the two epochs. The 3-sigma
variability limit is R ~ 23.4."
