We observed the field of GRB 130822A (Kocevski et al., GCN 15112)
using the 1m telescope located in Weihai, Shandong, China.
Observations started at 17:05:49 UT on 2013-08-22 (i.e., 1.19 hr after
the BAT trigger) and 3x500s SDSS r'-band frames were obtained in a
cloudy weather.

No optical source is detected within the XRT error circle (Kocevski et
al., GCN 15112) in the stacked image down to r'>~20 mag, calibrated
with SDSS field.
