probable GRB050805 
detection  (19:14:00.34 UT, GCN3766)   under the
  evening sky near the horizont. The first image was saturated.
The first not saturated image was at 720 sec after GRB time (exposition 1 s).
Optical limit is about 12.5 (unfiltred close to R).
On next images we see new  variable faint source  14.5 inside Swift error 
box 
wich disapear after .

alpha = 22 04 40.91
delta = +29 51 48.1
error is about 2''.
