Vitali report on behalf of the REM team:
The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed
automatically the field of the GRB 080915 (Oates et al. GCN 8227) on
Sep 15 starting from about 2 min after the GRB time for 30 min. In
the XRT error circle (Evans et al. GCN 8231) we see no sources
fainter than the 2MASS limits in the J, H and K bands.
