TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 8659 SUBJECT: GRB 081210, SMARTS optical/IR observations DATE: 08/12/12 01:42:28 GMT FROM: Bethany Cobb at UC Berkeley B. E. Cobb (UC Berkeley) reports: Using the ANDICAM instrument on the 1.3m telescope at CTIO, we obtained optical/IR imaging of the error region of GRB 081210 (Krimm et al. GCN 8648) with a mid-exposure time of ~6.2 hours post-burst (2008-12-11 02:33 UT). Total summed exposure times amounted to 36 minutes in I and 30 minutes in J. The GRB's optical afterglow (Krimm et al. GCN 8648) is not detected to an approximate limiting magnitude of I>22.3 and J>20.0. (Optical photometry is calibrated against Landolt standard stars and IR photometry is calibrated against 2MASS stars in the field.)
