Jos� Mar�a Castro Cer�n (DARK, NBI) report:
Using new wavelength calibration files, we have refined the
GRB 050922C redshift obtained at the NOT (GCN 4017). Based on the
detection of Lyman-alpha, OI+SiII, CII, SiIV, FeII, AlII, SiII* and
SiII in absorption, we measure a redshift of z = 2.198+-0.001.
There is additional strong absorption, possibly corresponding to
Lyman-alpha at z = 2.07.
