Bloom report on behalf of the GRAASP collaboration:\n\nUsing Gemini-South (+GMOS), we obtained 2x60 seconds of imaging in g and \nand 1x60 seconds in r of NGC 2770 as acquisition images in preparation \nfor later spectroscopic observations.  The sequence started at UT 05:33 \n2008-01-11, 40.00 hours after the trigger time derived by Modjaz et al. \n(GCN 7175). Calibrating relative to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we \nmeasure the following magnitudes for XRF 080109 / SN 2008D (Berger & \nSoderberg, GCN 7159; Kong & Marcone, ATEL 1355) at this time:\n\ng = 18.72 +/- 0.15\nr = 18.10 +/- 0.07\n\nFor SN 2007uy, we derive g = 16.31 +/- 0.15, r = 15.86 +/- 0.07.\n\nAn image of the field has been posted to:\n\nhttp://lyra.berkeley.edu/~dperley/sn2008d/ngc2770_2sne.png\n\nWe thank E. R. Carrasco at Gemini Observatory for his assistance.",
