We searched for the optical counterpart of a possible short burst GRB
230228A (Dichiara et al. GCN #33378) with the 0.7-m telescope at Miryang
Arirang Astronomical Observatory (MAAO), located at Miryang, Republic of
Korea. We observed the center of Swift-XRT localization (RA, Dec =
01:13:30.73, +44:28:58.4; Evans et al. GCN #33379) +4.09 hours after
report, but could not find any possible transient within the field of view
(28.2' x 28.2'). We performed flux calibration with the PS1 catalog and
used the AB magnitude system. Each depth means 3 and 5 sigma upper limit
for a point source detection. The magnitudes are not corrected for galactic
extinction.
