the 1.3m Skinakas Observatory (University of Crete, Heraklion, Greece): 

We observed the position of the XRT errorcircle of GRB 060805 (trigger
#222683, Ziaeepour, et al., GCN Circ. 5398) on 2006 Aug 05, 18:43 UT 
(mid-exposure; about 14 hours post burst): in a 30 min R-filter exposure we 
do not detect a counterpart candidate brighter than R=21.5
