Cappellaro (INAF-OAPd) on behalf of a larger collaboration report:\n\nWe observed the field of the possibly short GRB 230205A (Ambrosi et al, GCN Circ. 33271; Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ. 33280) \nwith the Schmidt telescope of the INAF - Padova Astronomical Observatory located in Asiago (Italy). Observations were carried \nout in imaging mode with the r and i filters about 2.5 days after the burst T0. \n\nNo clear afterglow candidate is detected within the enhanced XRT position (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 33275) down to the following \nmagnitude limits: r > 21.2 mag, i > 21.0 mag (AB; 3sigma c.l.). \n\nIn our i-band image we detect a source at the SW edge of the XRT error circle at the following position (J2000):\nRA = 13:28:16.87\nDec = +46:43:29.3 \n\nFor this source we measure a magnitude of i = 21.1 +/- 0.3 (AB). \n\nWe note that this source is detected also in archival SDSS and Pan-STARRS images. In the SDSS the source is named as \nSDSS J132816.81+464329.8 and is flagged as a galaxy with a photometric redshift of z = 0.484 +/- 0.090 and a magnitude \ni = 21.19 +/- 0.11 mag (AB; consistent with our measurement). \n\nThis object is therefore a candidate host galaxy for GRB 230205A. \n\nAs a further note, we report that the position of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 230205A lies at about 3.5 arminutes (in projection) \nto the galaxy NGC 5169 (whose luminosity distance is ~ 33 Mpc).",
