of the MITSuME collaboration:
We performed optical imaging observation (Rc, and Ic) of the field
of GRB 080605 (Sbarufatti et al., GCN 7828) with 50cm MITSuME
telescope at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory June 6 2008 UT.
We detected a point source at the UVOT position of the optical
afterglow (Kuin et al., GCN 7844). Differential photometry was
made using a USNO B1.0 star, USNO-ID 0940-0289655 (Kann et al.,
GCN 7845). The Ic-band magnitude of the source was almost constant
from T-T0 = 0.516 to 0.756. The source is about 1.5 magnitude
fainter in Rc-band than in Ic-band. These results are consistent
with other reports (Kann et al., GCN 7845
