We observed the field containing the new SGR 0418+5729 (ATel #2076, #2077) in the i'-band on 2009 September 15 with the OSIRIS camera (0.25"/pixel) mounted at the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) in the La Palma Observatory, as a part of our magnetar ToO observing program. We took 25 dithered exposures of ~100s each , for a total integration time of ~2500s, under dark time and with average seeing conditions of ~1.3" (airmass 1.3-1.5).
