Scientific paper

We propose a short HRC-I observation to obtain a precise location for the unusual Galactic black hole candidate and so-called microquasar, GRS~1758-258. A precise location will either confirm or reject the association of this X-ray source with the core of a double lobed radio jet structure. It will also enable deep infrared follow-up observations to search for stellar companions, and hopefully identify the system as a low or high mass X-ray binary. Since the source is near the Galactic center, more than a dozen K-band objects appear in the current best (ROSAT) error circle making identification difficult.
