Afterglow candidate (GCN 3388) of the short duration GRB 050509B,
localized by SWIFT (GCN 3381), was monitored from ARIES Naini Tal, India 
using 1-m telescope. The total exposure given in R_c band was 900sec*4 in 
good sky conditions, around 11 hours after the burst. Photometry of the 
stacked frame poses an upper limit of ~ 22 mag at the location of OT in 
comparison to nearby USNO-A2.0 stars.
