We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB080503 (GCN 7669, M.R. Goad et al.) with
the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope at
University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 15:25:55 UT; about 180 minutes
after the Swift trigger time.
We have compared our data of 30 sec exposures
with the USNO-A2.0 catalog,there is no new source
at the reported position
the upper limits are as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Start(UT) End(UT) Num. of frames Limit (mag.)
--------------------------------------------------------------
15:26:57 15:27:27 1 ~16.82
15:26:57 16:24:33 57 ~17.43
