We report on the observation of the field of the Swift GRB 100902A 
(Sakamoto et al., GCN 11181) with the 0.5m telescope D50 in Ondrejov 
(Czech Republic), starting at 22:03:08 UT, i.e. ~2.5h after the trigger.
A sequence of 20s unfiltered images was obtained. We coadded 225x20s 
exposure, obtaining an image with a limitting magnitude Rc~19.1, with an 
effective exposure time 3.68h after the trigger (23:13 UT). We do not 
detect any new source within the XRT error circle (Beardmore et al., GCN 
11188).

This message can be cited.
