Masi, the Virtual Telescope Project - Italy, reports:\n\nI observed the field of GRB 140801A (Fermi trigger 428612396) with with the 17\" \nrobotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope (Ceccano, Italy) at 2 Aug. 2014, \n00:10:39 UT, 5.15 hours seconds after the burst.\n\nAn optical source is visible where described by Gorbovskoy et al. (GCN 16653) \nand D. Xu et al (GCN 16656) in a image coming from the sum of three, 180-seconds \nexposures, unfiltered. The position of the source is RA: 02 56 16.46 +30 56 17.9 \n(J2000.0, mean residuals of 0.2\") and the magnitude was estimated to be 19.6, \nassuming R mags for the reference stars from UCAC-4.\n\nThe message may be cited."
