Leicester)\nreport on behalf of a larger collaboration:\n\nWe obtained observations of GRB 080319B (GCN 7427) with HST/WFPC2 in\nF606W and F814W filters on 2008 April 7th (2 orbits in each filter).\n\nThese data show the fading afterglow at magnitude F(814W_AB)=24.2\nand F(606W_AB)=24.5.  This fading is consistent within\nthe errors with a continued power-law decline in optical\nbrightness.\n\nPSF subtraction reveals no obvious sign of an underlying host galaxy,\nalthough there is what appears to be a separate galaxy 1.5 arcsec to\nthe south, which might be producing one of the foreground absorption\nsystems (GCN 7451).\n\nA colour image showing the field around the GRB is available at:\n\n http://www.star.le.ac.uk/~nrt3/080319b.html\n\nFurther analysis is ongoing.",
