E. Berger (Carnegie Observatories) and S.R. Kulkarni (Caltech) report on
behalf of a larger collaboration:
"We imaged the entire 30-arcsec radius XRT error circle of GRB 050126 (GCN
2984) with KeckI/NIRC on January 26.687 UT (4.5 hours after the burst) for
a total of 5 minutes in Ks band. A comparison to DSS and 2MASS reveals a
single bright source which is not visible in either catalog. The position
of the NIR afterglow is (J2000):
RA = 18:32:24.79
DEC= 42:21:54.0
