  "body": "S. Klose and C. Hoegner, Thueringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg\nreport:\n\nWe observed the error circle of GRB 051008 with the Tautenburg\nSchmidt telescope. I-band observations started 17:31 UT, i.e.\n1 hr after the burst. R-band observations followed at 17:57 UT.\n\nA first inspection of the images does not reveal an afterglow\ncandidate, neither in the R band nor in the I band down to the DSS2\nred limit. A bright star in the field affects the observations a bit\nbut we exclude a bright afterglow as close as 20 arcsec to this star.\n\nThe bright afterglow candidate reported by Roming et al. (GCN 4070) is\nvisible on our images, of course. Even though, this source is also visible\non the DSS2-red so that its identification as the afterglow is not yet\nobvious. We cannot exclude, however, that there was a bright object\nvery close to this star that faded away.",
