The REM telescope at the La Silla Observatory (ESO) is observing the
field of GRB 050412. Observations began 34 sec after the alert (39 sec
after the burst). 
Preliminary analysis of the first frames reveal no new sources in the
error circle approximately down to the 2MASS limit in the H band and
down to R = 18 in the optical.

Observations and further analyses are going on.
