We report the result of a new Chandra observation of the black hole X-ray transient H 1705–250 in quiescence .
H 1705–250 was barely detected in the new \sim 50 ks Chandra observation .
With 5 detected counts , we estimate the source quiescent luminosity to be L _ { X } \sim 9.1 \times 10 ^ { 30 } erg s ^ { -1 } in the 0.5-10 keV band ( adopting a distance of 8.6 kpc ) .
This value is in line with the quiescent luminosities found among other black hole X-ray binaries with similar orbital periods .
By using images taken with the Faulkes Telescope North , we derive a refined position of H 1705–250 .
We also present the long-term light curve of the optical counterpart from 2006 to 2012 , and show evidence for variability in quiescence .
