D. Malesani (SISSA), F. Fiore (INAF/OAR), N. Masetti (INAF/IASF Bo), M.
Pedani, G. Mainella (INAF/TNG), report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the afterglow of GRB 060605 (Page et al., GCN 5221; Rykoff &
Schaefer, GCN 5220) with the 3.6m TNG telescope, starting at 02:55 UT
(8.64 hr after the burst). In a single 3-min exposure the afterglow is
well detected with a magnitude R~19.65 after comparison with several
USNO stars.
A finding chart can be found here (comparison stars used for the
photometry are circled):
