Brian P Schmidt (Australian National University) and Matthew Whiting
(UNSW) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
"We observed a 6' region covering the XRT position of the SWIFT burst
GRB 050412 (GCN#3237)
using the ANU 2.3m telescope on April 12.27 UT in R band. The object
located within the XRT error circle (GCN#3241) located at RA
12:04:25.0, Dec -01:12:04 J2000, (GCN#3241, GCN#3243), in comparison
with the images of Berger et al (GCN#3239), is detected at poor SNR at
approximately the same brightness. Neither set of images shows the UVOT
transient object reported by Pooley and Bloom (GCN#3247) to at least
R=21mag."
