We observed the field of short GRB 210323A (Swift detection: Gropp et 
al., GCN 29699; GBM/Fermi detection: Hamburg et al., GCN 29709)
with  Kitab-ISON RC-36  telescope starting on 2021-03-23 (UT) 22:36:32. 
We obtained several images in Clear filter. We do not detect the 
afterglow candidate (Malesani et al., GCN 29703; Pozanenko et al., GCN 
29708) within enhanced Swift-XRT position (Evans et al., GCN 29704).
Preliminary photometry of the field is following
