Vetere (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:\n\nAt 07:55:51 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 080205 (trigger=302506).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 98.219, +62.769 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 06h 32m 53s\n   Dec(J2000) = +62d 46' 07\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows three roughly\nequal-height peaks spanning approximately 120 seconds.  The peak \ncount rate was ~1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec, ~70 sec, \nand ~95 sec after the trigger. \n\nXRT began observing at 07:57:32 UT, 101 s after the BAT trigger. \nUsing prompt downlinked data, we find a bright, fading, uncatalogued\nX-ray source located at RA, Dec 98.2561, 62.7913 deg which is\n   RA(J2000)  = 06h 33m 1.46s\n   Dec(J2000) = +62d 47' 30.1\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3.0 arcsec (radius, 90% containment). \nThis location is 100 arcseconds from the BAT on-board position,\nwithin the BAT error circle. \n\nUVOT took a finding chart exposure of 100 seconds with the White (160-650 nm)\nfilter starting 112 seconds after the BAT trigger. No afterglow candidate has\nbeen found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of\nthe XRT error circle. The 3-sigma upper limit at the XRT position is 19.2 mag. \nThe 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the\nXRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No\ncorrection has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of\n0.09. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is C. B. Markwardt (craigm AT milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov). \nPlease contact the BA by email if you require additional information\nregarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after\ntrying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see\nSwift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/too.html.)",
