We observed field of the Swift  GRB 111103B  (Grupe  et al. GCN  12519) with
Zeiss-600 telescope of Mt.Terskol observatory in R filter between Nov. 3
(UT) 15:07:44 - 15:17:50.   We took 10 images of 60 exposure under good
weather conditions and mean seeing (FWHW) of about 1.6". We do not detect
any source within enhanced XRT  position (Goad et al., GCN 12525). A
photometry is based on the USNO B1.0 nearby stars.
