We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB090709A (Swift trigger 356890, GCN 9625, D.C.Morriset al.)
with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope
at University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 11:42:32 UT (4.1 hr after the Swift trigger),
under cloudy condition.
First analyzable image was obtained at 16:18:26 UT (8.8 hr after the
Swift trigger).
We have compared our data of 30 sec exposures
with the USNO-A2.0 catalog,
There is no new source at the reported position.
(GCN 9634, K.Aoki et al. GCN 9636, J.P.Osborne et al.)
