"We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB 050408 (GCN 3189;HETE Trigger time is 16:22:50.93 UT)
with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope
at University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 16:52:23 UT on Apr.8.
After co-adding a set of 20 images (16:52:23 UT - 17:29:14 UT)
of 30 sec exposures, we have compared with the USNO-A2.0 catalog.
Preliminary analysis shows there is no new source brighter than
17.6 mag. at the reported position by A. de Ugarte Postigo et al.
(GCN3192). "
