We detect an optical/NIR afterglow \ncandidate in the XRT error circle (Pagani et al. 2008, GCN #8059) in \ngriz at:\n\nRA(J2000): 20h 56m 53.44\nDEC(J2000): -62d 26' 39.8\"\n\nwith uncertainties of 0.5\".\n\nWe measure the following magnitudes, calibrated against USNO-B1 field stars:\n\ng = 21.7 +- 0.2\nr = 20.5 +- 0.1\ni = 20.1 +- 0.1\nz = 19.9 +- 0.1\n\nNo statement about fading can be made at the moment. If this is the\nafterglow of GRB 080805, then its redshift is smaller than 3.5.",
