GRB 041006
G. da Costa (Mount Stromlo Observatory), N. Noel (IAC) and P.A. Price 
(IfA, UH) report on GCN 2765:

We have observed the error circle of GRB 041006 (HETE #3570) with the 
Wide Field Imager on the SSO 40-inch telescope.  Inspected exposures at 
this time consist of a single 300 sec integration in V-band at 2004 Oct 
6.54 UT.  Comparison with the DSS yields an optical afterglow candidate 
at the coordinates:

RA 00:54:50.17 DEC +01:14:07.0 (2000)

Editor: Images of this object which is fading from an original detection 
magnitude of 16 are urgently required.
