Iceland) and Johan Fynbo (DARK) report on behalf\nof a larger collaboration:\n\nWe have observed the field of GRB 110205A (Beardmore et al., GCN\n11629) with the 2.5m NOT telescope at Roque de los Muchachos\nObservatory (La Palma, Spain) equipped with ALFOSC starting at\n3:25 UT (1.4h after the burst). Despite thick clouds, the\noptical afterglow is clearly detected at R ~ 16.7 (as compared\nto nearby USNO-B1.0 stars).\n\nPreliminary reduction of the subsequent spectroscopic\nobservations shows a clear DLA and several metal absorption\nlines (OI/OI*, CII/CII*, CIV, AlII, FeII) at a common redshift\nz=2.22, confirming the redshift measurement by Cenko et al. (GCN\n11638).",
