Masetti (INAF-IASF-Bologna),\nG. Andreuzzi, M. Pedani (INAF-TNG),\non behalf of the CIBO collaboration report\n\nWe imaged the field of GRB050802 (GCN 3734, Band et al.) with the 3.5 m\nItalian National Telescope (TNG) (Canary Islands). Observations were\ncarried out with the optical spectrograph Dolores on August 2.9 UT in 5\nfilters (U, B, V, R, I) and on August 3.9 UT in 2 filters (V, I).\n\nIn all images we detect an object at the position reported by McGowen\net al. (GCN 3739).  Therefore, the detected object is identified as the\nafterglow candidate reported in GCN 3739. Preliminary photometry shows\nthe object fading from V~21.1 to V~22.8 and from I~20.5 to I~21.9\nbetween the two epochs.\nWe note also an extended fainter object near the afterglow in the V\nframe obtained on August 3. This object is at the same position as can\nbe seen in the image linked in GCN 3756, that Fynbo et al. propose as\nsuspected host galaxy.  Further refined analysis is ongoing.\n\nThis message may be cited.",
