We observed the field of the Swift GRB 120422A (Troja et al., GCN
13243) with 20-inch telescope C40 of Kuban State University
Astrophysical Observatory on April 22 between (UT) 18:51:21 - 21:54:56
under mean FWHM of about 3.5 arcsec. We took two series of 30 s and 60
s exposures using R filter. In a stacked image we do not detect any
source in the enhanced XRT error circle (Evans et al., GCN 13502). A
preliminary photometry is based on the nearby USNO-B1.0 stars:

T0+         Filter, Exposure,              OT,   uplim (3 sigma)

(mid, d)             (s)
0.28316   R       60*30s + 31*60s     n/d   21.2
