We observed the field of the new Soft Gamma-ray Repeater (SGR), Swift J1822.3-1606 (Cummings et al., Atel #3488) with the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GranTeCan). Images have been taken with the OSIRIS camera, a two-chip CCD with a nominal 7.8'x7.8' arcmin field of view and a pixel size of 0.125". Observations have been taken in the z-Sloan-band on 2011 July 21st (unfortunately in bright lunar time, with a large sky background and a seeing ranging from 1-2.5") with exposure times of 54-108s.
