We observed the field of GRB 140903A (Cummings et al., GCN 16763) with Santel-400AN telescope of ISON-Kislovodsk observatory starting on Sep. 03 (UT) 18:54:36. In the enhanced XRT position (De Pasquale et al., GCN 16767) we do not detect the object (Capone et al., GCN 16769; Cenko et al., GCN 16770; Fruchter, GCN 16776). A preliminary upper limit after subtraction of the nearby bright star is 16m. A formal upper limit of a point-like source in the image away of the bright nearby star is following
