Martin Jelinek, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado, Javier Gorosabel
(IAA-CSIC Granada) and R. Piontek (AIP Potsdam) report on
behalf of larger collaboration:
We observed the Swift-BAT errorbox of a GRB 071008
(trigger=293587, Moretti et al., GCN 6856), with an IAC 80cm
telescope at La Palma starting at 05:43 UT (7.8h after the
GRB). Our 3 x 180s combined R-band image has a limiting
magnitude of R < 21.5 and does not show any new source in
comparison to a DSS-Red, implying a DSS-equivalent limit to
the afterglow detection.
