A. Baer (PSU) and Caputo (GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 220305A 3021 s after the BAT trigger (Caputo et al., GCN Circ. 31684). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 31688) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white_FC 3021 3171 147 >20.0 white 3021 4403 344 >20.4 v 3178 4752 332 >19.6 b 3998 4198 197 >19.9 u 3793 3993 197 >19.9 w1 3588 3788 197 >20.2 m2 3383 3583 197 >20.0 w2 4410 4610 197 >20.1 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.418 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 220305A: Swift/UVOT Detection M.
