Primak, H. Steinle (MPE Garching) of the OPTIMA-Burst Team report the
following:
"OPTIMA-Burst at the 1.3m Skinakas Observatory, of the University of
Crete, Greece observed the Swift XRT-errorcircle of GRB 060926 (GCN Circ
5612, S.T. Holland et al.) at 17:19UT (36 min after the Burst,
mid-exposure).
We detected a faint source at the UVOT-Position (GCN Circular #5612). We
estimate the brightness of this source in a 10 min R-Band image as
19.5+-.1mag. There is no source at this position in the USNO-A2 Catalog,
and no minor planet according to MPChecker."
