We observed the field of GRB 240805B detected by Swift (Williams et al,
GCN 37043; Goad et al, GCN 37053) with AS-32 0.7-meter telescope of
Abastumani observatory (AbAO) in R-filter, ZTSh 2.6-meter telescope of CrAO
in R-filter, and K800 0.8-meter telescope of Terskol observatory in clear
filter. The observations began on 2024-08-05 at 17:30 UT at AbAO (i.e. 3.1
hr since Swift trigger) in variable conditions. We obtain
upper limits on the optical counterpart found and confirmed in (Moskvitin
et al, GCN 37055; Du et al, GCN 37062):

The photometry was calibrated against nearby stars of USNO-B1.0 (R2
magnitudes). The upper limits are in agreement with no detections by (Zhu
et al, GCN 37050; Strausbaugh et al, GCN 37052; Siegel & Williams,
GCN 37057; Maksut et al, GCN 37060).
