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 060825 (Sato et al. GCNC 5471) starting at 03:26 UT in R-band.

We detect an object on the edge of the XRT error box at coordinates 
R.A.= 01:12:29.58, Dec. = +55:47:43.8 (J2000) with estimated 
uncertanity of 0.7 arcsec  which might be present at the DSS2 
image.

A finding chart will be soon available at:
