Pedersen (U. of Copenhagen) report :\n\n\"Using the ALFOSC on the 2.5m Nordic Optical Telescope, we have\nobtained 4700sec of further R-band imaging of the Optical Transient \n(OT) of GRB 000926 (GCN #801, #803, #804) on 2000 October 27.\nThe seeing was 1.1 arcsec.\n\nNear the position of the OT we detect extended emission, which most\nlikely is from the host galaxy of GRB000926. There are several knots of\nemission. One of these knots coincides with the precise position of the\nOT. The magnitude of the galaxy measured in a circular aperture with\ndiameter 5.7 arcsec is about R=23.9 in good agreement with estimates\nbased on the flattening of the OT light-curve (GCN #840, #850).\n\nA 10.5x10.5 arcsec^2 section of the combined R-band image centred on \nthe position of the OT (marked by a circle) can be seen at\nhttp://www.astro.ku.dk/~brian_j/grb/grb000926\"",
