Pozanenko (IKI) on behalf of �larger GRB follow up collaboration report: We observed the field of the possible GRB 120402A (Swift trigger=519207; Barthelmy et al., �GCN 13190) with ORI-40 telescope of Kitab ISON observatory on Apr. 02 starting �(UT) 22:55:14, i.e. ~6 min after burst trigger. We obtained several �unfiltered images with exposure of 60 seconds. Within BAT error circle of 3 arcmin, radius (Barthelmy et al., �GCN 13190) we do not detect apparently new source in comparison with DSS2-red. �The �photometry is based on �USNO-B1.0 reference star 1092-0548647 �(20:57:27.42 +19:17:47.2) assuming R = 14.41.
