Main text:
"The BOOTES-IR 0.6m telescope, located at IAA-CSIC Observatorio de
Sierra Nevada in Granada (Spain), observed the SWIFT error box for
GRB 060707 (Moretti et al. GCNC 5285).
Further analysis from the data of the night shows an object with
R ~ 20.2 mag at coordinates R.A.= 23:48:19.00, Dec. = -17:54:17.0
(J2000) with estimated uncertanity of 0.7 arcsec is present on
the frames and not visible on the DSS2 comparison images. Futher
analysis are ongoing in order to check for variability and confirm
its relationship to GRB 060707.
A finding chart will be soon available at:
