We observed the field of GRB 140516A (Bernardini et al., GCN 16285) with
ORI-40 (0.4-m f/3) telescope of ISON-Kislovodsk observatory. Observations
started on May 16 (UT) 20:39:04 and continued up to (UT) 21:11:60. We
obtained several unfiltered images of 30 s and 100 s exposures. In a
preliminary analysis we do not detect evident source within XRT error circle
(Bernardini et al., GCN 16285) . The upper limit of a combined image is
20.5m and based on USNO-B1.0 (R2) nearby stars.
