Reichart report on behalf of the UNC \nteam of the FUN GRB Collaboration:\n\nWe have observed the position of the GRB 050408 afterglow reported by de\nUgarte Postigo et al. (GCN #3192) with three telescopes of the PROMPT\nrobotic array, one in each of VRcIc.\n\nIn one epoch of V-band observations, 122 x 60s exposures centered on \nApril 9, 02:06:44 UT (t + 9.7 hours), we have a 3 sigma detection of the\nafterglow at V ~ 21.4.  In a second epoch of 137 x 60s eposures centered \nat 05:37:31 UT (t + 13.2 hours) we do not detect the afterglow down to a\nlimiting magnitude of V = 21.7 (2 sigma).\n\nV filter calibrations were made relative to 6 Nomad stars.\n\nPROMPT is still being built and commissioned.",
