Goldoni report on behalf of the REM/ROSS team: The robotic 60-cm REM telescope, located at La Silla (Chile), observed automatically the field of GRB 060908 (Evans et al., GCN 5544) with ROSS optical camera. Observations started at 09:06:21 UT, about 7 min after the burst, in R, I and V band. An uncatalogued fading source was observed in all filters at: RA: 02:07:18.3 DEC +00:20:31 This position is consistent with the one reported in GCN 5544 and GCN 5545. In the R initial image the source is at approximately R ~ 17 in 20 sec exposure time. Further analysis is in progress.
