Scientific paper

The authors report on the detection and variability of two very faint (mR ≡ 24) objects in the 4arcsec×16arcsec error region of the 1928 November 17 optical transient that may be associated with the 1978 November 19 gamma-ray burst source. They discuss the consequences if one of these two objects is the optical counterpart of the gamma-ray burst source. It is possible that, in the ≡54 years since the 1928 transient, the source has moved out of the 1928 error region. To investigate this possibility, proper motion measurements of objects as faint as mR ≡ 22 have been made.
