The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed
automatically the field of the GRB 080207 (Racusin et al., GCN 7264). A
preliminary analysis of the first set of JHK exposures does not reveal
any optical afterglow candidate inside the XRT error box (Beardmore et
al., GCN 7265) We derive the following 3sigma upper limits (calibrated
against the 2MASS catalog):
J > 16.7 (7.8 hours after the burst)
H > 15.9 (7.7 hours after the burst)
K > 13.9 (10.1 hours after the burst)
