MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Tunka was pointed to GRB130603B 35 sec after Notice time
and 52 sec after Trigger time (Melandri et al., GCN 14735) in two
mutually perpendicular polarizations.
We didn't find OT at the position reported by Levan et al., GCN 14742
and A. de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 14743.
Our photometry (upper limits) during the first 20 minutes until the
clouds started coming in is as follows:

We have tried to compare our data with the photometry from the large
telescopes in the filters similar to ours. In fact, we have used the
observations in r filter.
The following data have been published so far.
Afterglow:
t+5.8 hours r=20.94 WHT Levan et al., GCN 14742
t+5.8 hours r=20.9 NOT A. de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 14743
t+7.5 hours r=21.2 Gemini-South Cucchiara et al., GCN 14748
Large aperture to include both objects:
t+12.2 hours r'=20.8 P60 (Palomar 60 inch) Cenko et al., GCN 14761
t+14.78 hours r'=20.78 RATIR (1.5m Harold Johnson) Eleonora Troja et
al., GCN 14764
We were not able to use the Swift UVOT data in the white light (De
Pasquale et al., GCN 14759) since their exact times of mid-exposures
are not easy to determine.
Obviously, the last two points involve the host galaxy.
In order to constrain the slope we have used the data from WHT, NOT
and Gemini South.
The results are presented here:

Thus, supposing the power law of the fading afterglow
F ~ t^-alpha
we are providing the following limitation:
alpha < 0.84.
