collaboration report:
We observed the GRB080211 (Hurley et al. GCN 7295, Golenetskii et al. GCN
7309) with Zeiss-600 of Mt.Terskol observatory on Feb. 12 between (UT)
17:10-17:21 in R-filter under poor weather conditions. Our observation
covered central part of the IPN error-box. Within IPN error-box (Hurley et
al. GCN 7295), we found one source not presented in any DSS2 plates.
Coordinates of the source are RA(J2000) = 02h55m50.9s, Dec.(J2000) = +60
05' 43.6". Photometry against of USNO-B1.0 is following
T0+ , Exposure, R_mag
(mid time)
1.41d 10x30 s 17.3
Further examination of XRT and UVOT observation (Beardmore et al. GCN 7312)
and additional observations are necessary to confirm the nature of the found
source.
