  "body": "Daniele Malesani, Johan P. U. Fynbo (DARK/NBI), Eric Stempels (Univ. St. \nAndrews), and Tapio Pursimo (NOT), report on behalf of a larger \ncollaboration:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 081221 (Hoversten et al., GCN 8687) with \nthe NOT equipped with ALFOSC. R-band imaging was carried out (12 min \nexposure) with mean time Dec 21.81 UT (3.14 hr after the GRB). Inside \nthe XRT error circle (Hoversten et al., GCN 8687), we detect no source \ndown to a limiting magnitude R ~ 23. Further imaging is ongoing.\n\nWe note the presence of two faint sources just outside the XRT error \ncircle, at approximate coordinates (J2000):\n\n1: RA = 01:03:10.26, Dec = -24:32:47.4, R ~ 22.3\n2: RA = 01:03:10.10, Dec = -24:32:58.6, R ~ 23.0\n\nWe acknowledge excellent support from the NOT staff.",
