Bloom (UC Berkeley) reports on behalf of the larger GRAASP  \ncollaboration:\n\n\"Automatically triggering off of the original GCN/SWIFT_BAT_POSITION  \nnotice for GRB 080129 (GCN 7226), we observed the field with Gemini  \nSouth + GMOS in the r-band starting at 06:50:21.4 2008-01-29 in a  \nseries of 5 dithered exposures of 5 minutes apiece. Consistent with  \nthe position of the X-ray source (GCN 7228) we find a point-like  \nobject at:\n\n     07:01:08.20  -07:50:46.3  (J2000)\n\n(preliminary uncertainty of 300 mas rms relative to 2MASS). We suggest  \nthat this is the optical afterglow of GRB 080129 but cannot confirm  \nvariability at this time. More observations are encouraged.\"\n\nWe thank the Gemini Staff for conducting these observations.\n\nThis message may be cited.",
