S. Piranomonte (INAF/OAR), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OABr), D. Malesani (SISSA),
G. Chincarini (Univ. Milano-Bicocca), L. Stella (INAF/OAR) S. Campana,
S. Covino and G. Tagliaferri (INAF/OABr), report on behalf of the
MISTICI collaboration:

We observed again the field of GRB 060108 (Oates et al., GCN 4443;
Sakamoto et al., GCN 4445) in the K band with the ESO-VLT UT1 equipped
with the ISAAC camera, starting on Jan 11.283 UT (2.7 d after the GRB).
Coaddition of sixty 60 s exposures does not reveal any object inside the
XRT error circle (Page et al., GCN 4444) down to a limiting magnitude K
= 22.1 (3 sigma confidence level).

This message can be cited.
