E. Berger (Princeton/OCIW) and P. Challis (CfA) report:
"We observed the BAT error circle of the short GRB 071112B (GCN 7071) with
LDSS3 on the Magellan/Clay telescope. A total of 1200 sec were obtained
in the i-band in 0.9" seeing starting 6.25 hours after the burst. A
comparison to DSS reveals no new bright sources within the BAT error
circle. A comparison of the first and final images (with a separation of
20 min) reveals no clear fading sources, although we note that the time
baseline is very short. Further observations are in progress."
