J. P. Halpern (Columbia), J. Kemp (Joint Astronomy Centre and Columbia),
and N. Mirabal (U. Michigan), report on behalf of the MDM Observatory
GRB follow-up team:
We reobserved the afterglow of GRB 050607 in the R band with the
MDM 2.4m telescope for 30 minutes starting on June 8 08:15 UT,
23 hr after the burst. Seeing was approximately 1.1", similar
to the previous night. An upper limit of R > 24.0 for a point
source is found at the position of the afterglow. The possible
host galaxy (Rhoads, GCN #3540) would be difficult to quantify
in our image due to the nearby bright star.
