Fynbo (ESO) report:\n\nWe have obtained optical follow-up observations of the SAX error circle of \nGRB 011211 (cf. GCN ##1188,1189) with the ALFOSC on the 2.56-m NOT and with \nDFOSC on the Danish 1.5m on La Silla starting at about 12.2 December 2001 UT. \nIn R-band images a new point source, not visible in the DSS-2 (red), is \ndetected at RA (J2000) = 11:15:17.98, Dec(J2000) = -21:56:56.2 with an \nestimated error of +- 1\". The magnitude is about R = 19. Given the proximity \nto the refined SAX WFC position and its absence in DSS, the source is likely \nthe afterglow of GRB 011211.\n\nThe above findings are preliminary. More details will be reported later.\nImages will be made available at http://www.astro.ku.dk/~brian_j/grb/grb011211",
