E. Berger (Carnegie) reports:
"We observed the error circle of the INTEGRAL burst GRB 061025 (GCN 5751)
with GMOS on the Gemini-south telescope starting on 2006 Oct. 26.004 UT
(5.5 hr after the burst). A total of 1470 s were obtained in i-band in
good seeing conditions (0.6"). Within the XRT error circle (GCN 5753) we
find a single point source with i=22.0 mag, located at (J2000):
RA = 20:03:37.1
DEC= -48:14:37.0
with an uncertainty of about 0.5" in each coordinate. At the present we
do not have evidence for variability, but we consider this source to be an
afterglow candidate."
