We observed the field of the Swift GRB 130502A (Troja et al., GCN 14527Loading...
 
 ) 
with AZT-11 telescope of CrAO observatory on May 02 starting on (UT) 
18:20:46, i.e. ~30 min after burst trigger. We took several images in 
R-filter of 180 s exposure.  Within enchanced XRT position (Beardmore et 
al., GCN  14536Loading...
 
 ) we do  not detect any source. Preliminary photometry of 
a combined image is following
