D. Malesani (SISSA) and F. Patat (ESO) report on behalf of the MISTICI 
collaboration:

We have observed the field of GRB 060814 (Moretti et al., GCN 5447). 
Observations were carried out with the ESO VLT UT2 equipped with FORS1, 
under thin clouds.

We find no source at the position of the X-ray afterglow, with a 3sigma 
limiting magnitude R = 24. The mean time was Aug 15.0 UT (58 minutes 
after the burst).
