E. Berger (OCIW) and A. Bonanos (CIW) report:
"We observed the field of GRB 060719 starting on 2006 July 19 at 07:10:45
UT (20 min after the burst) with the 40-inch telescope at Las Campanas
Observatory. In a 300 sec R-band exposure we find a faint object close to
the limit of DSS within the XRT error circle at (J2000):
RA = 01:13:43.38
DEC= -48:22:55.1
Further observations are underway to determine whether this source is
variable."
