E. Berger (Princeton) reports:
"A 900-sec spectrum obtained with Gemini-South/GMOS reveals that the
object near the XRT position is a late-K star and not a galaxy as
initially indicated in GCN 7294.
In a 60 sec r-band acquisition image we find a faint source coincident
with the XRT position at:
RA = 15:24:35.4
DEC = -22:44:30 (J2000)
This object is consistent with the positions reoprted in GCNs 7302 and
7303."
