We used the Nordic Optical Telescope (La Palma, Spain) equipped with MOSCA to observe GRB 110503A (Stamatikos et al., GCN 11991).
Observations were conducted in the UBVRI filters starting at 21:18 UT (222.3 min after the BAT trigger). The exposure times were 600, 300, 300, 300 and 400 s respectively.
The afterglow is well detected in all filters at a position consistent with the UVOT observations (Stamatikos et al., GCN 11991).
Photometry, using stars 1422-0232263 and 1422-0232264 of the USNO B1.0 catalog as comparison, gives B ~ 19.7 and R ~ 19.3.
