collaboration:

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 140103A (Mangano et al., GCN 15656Loading...
 
 )
with 0.51-m f/8 telescope of Kuban State University Astrophysical
Observatory on Jan. 3, starting 12 minutes after GRB trigger. We obtained
several images of 30 s exposure in R-band. In the refined XRT position
(Mangano, GCN 15666Loading...
 
 ) we do not detect any object in stacked image. In
particular we do not detected the optical afterglow candidate reported by
Volnova et al. (GCN 15735Loading...
 
 ).

Details of the photometry are following:
