"We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB 050520 (GCN3430 ; INTEGRAL Trigger time is 00:05:53 UT)
with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope
at University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 11:53:37 UT on May.20.
Observed field of view is 43 arcmin centered on
R.A=+12:50:50.9
Dec=+30:22:09.5
After co-adding a set of 5 images (11:53:37 - 11:58:08 UT)
of 30 sec exposures, we have compared with the USNO A2.0 catalog.
Preliminary analysis shows there is no new source brighter than
17.2 mag.

P. B. Cameron (Caltech) and A. M. Soderberg (Caltech) report on behalf of
the Caltech-NRAO-Carnegie GRB Collaboration:
"We observed the field of GRB050520 (GCN#3430) using the Very Large Array
at a frequency of 8.46 GHz on May 20.43 UT and May 21.43 UT. We do not
detect a radio source within the refined XRT error circle (GCN#3443). We
place a 2-sigma upper limit of 57.6 uJy."

P. Vreeswijk (ESO), T. Marsh (U. Warwick), S. Littlefair, V. Dhillon
(U. Sheffield), K. O'Brien (ESO) report on behalf of a larger
collaboration:
The Swift XRT afterglow (see Kennea et al., GCN 3434, Perri et al.,
GCN 3443) is located roughly 15" off the field-of-view of the
VLT/ULTRACAM observations reported in GCN 3433
