We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB090423 (Swift trigger 350184, GCN 9198, H. A. Krimm et al.)
with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope
at University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 10:49:54 UT, about 3.0 hr
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.
