 "We have acquired multicolour optical observations with 
 the 2.2m CAHA telescope (+BUSCA) starting at ~18:00 UT at the 
 position of GRB 041218 (GCN 2858). Visual comparison 
 reveals an  object that shows a clear decay. The position
 is:

            RA(J2000)=01:39:07.7 
           DEC(J2009)=+71:20:28.8
