D. A. Kann, U. Laux, S. Klose, S. Ertel (TLS Tautenburg) and J. Greiner (Garching) report:
We observed the location of Swift GRB 080605 with the TLS Tautenburg 1.34m Schmidt telescope in RRM Mode (Klose et al., GCN 3609).
At the in-flight XRT position, in a 120 sec Ic band frame, we detect a new source not present in the DSS at:
RA (J2000) = 17:28:29.96
Dec. (J2000) = +04:00:57.5
The source is blended with a star to the southeast but clearly discernible.
We propose this to be the afterglow of GRB 080605. Spectroscopy is encouraged.
