We observed the field of GRB 080205  (Markwardt et al. GCN 7250)
with the 152 cm Loiano telescope under modest sky (cirrus)
and seeing (2.5") conditions.
Our observation was carried out in R-band, 
for 20 minutes starting on 2008 February 5, 22:28 UT.

We do not detect the OT reported by Li et al. (GCN 7251)
to a limiting magnitude of R ~ 20  based on the NOMAD catalog.
