Thoene (DARK Cosmology Centre), Christina Henriksen (DARK,\nNOT) and Klaas Wiersema (Univ. of Amsterdam) report:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB060908 on Sep. 21 and 23 with ALFOSC at the\nNOT on La Palma in V, R and i under variable conditions.\nNear the position of the afterglow (GCN 5544), we detect a faint, extended\nsource in stacked images in V (7x600s) and R (10x600s), which we assume to\nbe the host galaxy of GRB060908. The possible host is not visible in\n7x600s stacked images in the i band which might be due to severe fringing\nin the i band images.\nPhotometry of the source gives values of V=24.9 +-0.1, R=25.12 +-0.05 and\ni>24.6 +-0.2 using photometric zeropoints from the NOT/ALFOSC webpage.\n\n\nAn image of the host in the R-band can be found at\nwww.astro.ku.dk/~cthoene/GRBs/",
