Ferrero (TLS Tautenburg) report:\n\nWe observed the location of the short burst GRB 060502B (Troja et al., GCN 5055) \nwith the Tautenburg 1.34m Schmidt telescope.\n\nObservations were taken under bad observing conditions (airmass 1.95, twilight, \nmoonlight). The observation consisted of a single 900 sec exposure in the R band \ntaken at a mid-exposure time of 20060502.8356, 0.1101 days after the burst.\n\nDue to the conditions, the image limit is shallow, with a 3 sigma limiting magnitude \nof 20.2. The Galaxy mentioned in GCN 5055 is clearly detected at a magnitude of R \n= 18.1 +/- 0.09 (measured vs. several surrounding USNO1.0B stars).\n\nWe detect a possible additional source to the southeast of the center of the galaxy \n(but within the PSF in our image), at RA = 18:35:45.90, Dec.= +52:37:33.20 (errors \n+/- 0.5\"), which could possibly be a superposed faint afterglow, reminescent of \nGRBs 050709 or 050724. But there seems to be a source here also in the DSS R \nimage, so this identification is very unsure.\n\nFurthermore, we note that this galaxy is not included in the revised error circle \n(Troja et al., GCN 5059) any more, which would rule it out as a host galaxy \naltogether, unless it lies at low redshift and the progenitor has been ejected from the \ngalaxy. Spectroscopy is encouraged.\n\nNo source is detected at all within the revised error circle. \n\nWe are grateful to S. Melnikov for observing time.\n\nThis message may be cited.",
