Le Floc'h (Steward Obs., USA), & I.F.\nMirabel (ESO), on behalf of the MISTICI collaboration.\n\nWe imaged the field of GRB 050223 (Mitani et al. 2005, GCN 3055)\non May 10, 2005 and June 5, 2005. R (10 x 308 seconds) and Ks\n(42 x 60 seconds) frames were obtained respectively with FORS1 and\nISAAC at VLT. In the combined R and Ks images we detect a single\ngalaxy within the revised XRT error circle (Moretti et al. 2006,\nA&A, 448, L9), down to our limiting magnitudes R_lim ~ 26 and\nKs_lim ~ 21. Its position is RA(J2000) = 18:05:32.99, DEC(J2000) =\n-62:28:18.8 (0.2 arcsec error), We measured R = 21.6 and Ks = 18.9\nfor this object (with an uncertainty of ~0.1 mag). Astrometry was\nperformed using USNO B1.0 stars, while photometry was calibrated\nagainst 2MASS and USNO B1.0 (second epoch) magnitudes.",
