report:
We observed the field of the short GRB 180805B (D'Avanzo et al., GCN
23076; Sakamoto et al., GCN 23082) using one of the 40-cm telescopes
located in the Teide observatory (Canary Islands), part of the Las
Cumbres Observatory network.
Observations consisted of 9x300 s exposures in the SDSS r filter,
centered around the mean epoch Aug 6.19 UT (15.49 hr after the GRB). The
PSF delivered to the image is around 3".
No object is detected within or close to the X-ray afterglow error
circle (Evans et al., GCN 23077), down to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude
of r = 20 AB, calibrated using nearby stars from the Pan-STARRS catalog.
