behalf of the REM team:

The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed   
automatically the field of the GRB 080514 on April 14 10:34:14 UT.

No new source is visible in the XRT error circle down to the 2MASS  
limits, although the presence of a bright source already present in  
the 2MASS catalogue (H~9) and well within the XRT error circle makes  
the photometry less reliable.


Further analyses and observations are in progress.
