Gorosabel (DSRI, Copenhagen)\nreport on behalf of a larger European GRB Collaboration:\n\n\"Using the ALFOSC on the 2.5m Nordic Optical Telescope, we have\nobtained U,B,R and I-band imaging of the field of GRB 000926\n(Hurley et al., GCN #801) on 2000 September 27.8-28.1 UT.\nComparing with DSS-2 (red) we find a bright point source\nnot visible on the DSS-2 exposure.\n\nThe coordinates of this object are:\n\nRA(J2000)  :  17 04 09.62\nDec(J2000) : +51 47 11.2\n(with an uncertainty of about 2\")\n\nThese coordinates are consistent with those reported \nindependently by Gorosabel et al.\n\nThis object is detected in both U,B,R and I-band images.\nA 1hr spectrum covering the region 3500AA-7000AA has been obtained\nshowing a blue spectrum with strong absorption lines. The redshift \nhas not yet been determined.\n\nA preliminary magnitude for the object is: R=19.3 +- 0.2.\n\nIngvar Svaerdh and Charlotte Moeller are acknowledged for help\nwith the observations.\"",
