Hudec (1987) has reported the detection of three bright transient optical images from the same celestial location localized to alpha(1950) = 18 h 9 m 26.29 s + or - 0.03 s, delta (1950) = +31 deg 23 arcmin 19.7 arcsec + or - 0.6 arcsec. This paper reports the result of a deep CCD search in four colors undertaken to find the quiescent counterpart of the optical transients. No source is found at the location of the transients to m(B) = 24.5; however, 18 objects in the vicinity of the reported coordinates which are consistent with the source having a proper motion of 1 arcsec/yr. A search at 6 cm with the VLA revealed no source in the mu less than 1 arcsec/yr circle to a 3 sigma limiting flux of 83 micro-Jy.
