Alexander Kann\n(TLS Tautenburg), report on behalf of a larger collaboration:\n\nUsing FORS2 on the ESO Very Large Telescope, we have imaged the GRB 070129\nfield (Godet et al., GCN 6053) on Jan 30.07 UT (2.15 hours post-burst).\nInside the refined XRT circle (Butler 2006, AJ, in press,\nastro-ph/0611031; DSS catalog; version 0.2) we find an R ~ 21.3 mag\nsource. At present we cannot assess the source variability. It is possibly\nextended but not readily visible in the DSS.\n\nIts coordinates are:\n\nR.A.(J2000) =  02:28:00.94\nDec(J2000)  = +11:41:04.0\n\nwith a error of 0.2\" in each coordinate.\n\nAn image of the field is shown at:\n\nhttp://star-www.herts.ac.uk/~palli/GRB070129.jpg\n\nWe thank the Paranal staff, especially Elena Valenti, Paul Lynam and\nLeonardo Vanzi, for excellent support.\n\n[GCN OPS NOTE(03feb07): Per author's request, the sign on the \ndeclination was changed from minus to plus.]",
