Vergani,  F. Vitali report on behalf of the REM team:\n\nThe robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed \nautomatically the field of the GRB 080212 (Ziaeepour et al., GCN 7296). \nA preliminary analysis of the first set of H-band exposures does reveal \nthe presence of an object with H ~ 15.2 inside the XRT error box (Goad \net al., GCN 7300) at the following coordinates (J2000):\n\nR.A. = 15:24:35.49\nDec. = -22:44:29.0\n\nwith an uncertainty of 0.3\". This position lies about 3.2\" (East \ndirection) far from the position of the DSS galaxy (Berger, GCN 7294). \nThis object could thus be the NIR afterglow of GRB 080212. The 3sigma \nupper limit of our image is H > 15.7 (calibrated  against the 2MASS \ncatalog).\n\nFurther analysis is in progress.",
