Iceland) report:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 081028 (Guidorzi et al., GCN 8421) with the \nNOT equipped with PolCor. Observations started on 2008 Oct 28, around 6 \nUT (more accurate information will follow).\n\nAt a position consistent with the X-ray error circle, we detect a bright \nobject at the following coordinates:\n\nRA(J2000) = 08:07:34.721\nDec(J2000) = +02:18:29.03\n\nGiven the small field of view, only four stars are available for \nastrometry. Assuming R = 15.7 for the USNO star at RA=08:07:33.70, Dec = \n+02:18:39.9, we compute R ~ 19.2 for the afterglow.\n\nOur astrometry and photometry are consistent with those reported by \nClemens et al. (GCN 8424). The object is not visible in the DSS nor in \nthe SDSS, hence we are confident it is the afterglow of GRB 081028.\n\nA finding chart is available on request.",
