Y.A. Mori, Y. Kudou, T. Shimokawabe and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech) report on
behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We observed the error box of GRB 080503 (Mao et al. GCN 7665)
with the 3-color 50cm MITSuME Telescope at Akeno, Japan starting
at 2008-05-03 12:31:53 UT, 5.4 min after the trigger.
In the co-added images of Ic, Rc, and g' bands, we did not detect
any afterglow candidate in the XRT error circle.
The 3-sigma limiting magnitudes based on USNO-B1.0 (I-band) and NOMAD
(R-band,g'-band) stars are following.
