TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7304 SUBJECT: GRB 080212: Gemini-South optical observations DATE: 08/02/13 08:13:50 GMT FROM: Edo Berger at Princton U E. Berger (Princeton) reports: "A 900-sec spectrum obtained with Gemini-South/GMOS reveals that the object near the XRT position is a late-K star and not a galaxy as initially indicated in GCN 7294. In a 60 sec r-band acquisition image we find a faint source coincident with the XRT position at: RA = 15:24:35.4 DEC = -22:44:30 (J2000) This object is consistent with the positions reoprted in GCNs 7302 and 7303."
