We began to observe the field of GRB 130505A (Cannizzo, et al., GCN 14563)
using 80cm TNT telescope located at Xinglong observatory, China
at 12:25:39 UT on 2013-05-05. We obtained several R-band images.
The reported optical counterpart (Cannizzo, et al., GCN 14563) is detected in all images.
A prelinary analysis shows that its brightness is decaying from R~18.05 to R~18.68 mag
during 4.05h and 4.85h after the trigger time.
These magnitudes are calibrated with USNO B1.0 R2 stars,
