We observed the field of the Swift Swift GRB 130603A (Melandri et al., 
GCN 14731)with AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory  on Jun. 
03 and Jun. 04. We obtained several unfiltered images of 300 s and 180 s 
exposures. The afterglow (Melandri  et al., GCN 14732) is well detected 
in  combined images in both epochs. Preliminary photometry
