GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of  Swift GRB 170903A  (Markwardt et al., GCN 
21793) with SANTEL-650 (0.65m)  telescope  of UAFO/ISON-Ussuriysk 
observatory. We obtained several unfiltered images starting on  Sep. 03 
(UT) 13:20:15.  Within enhanced XRT position (Goad et al., GCN 21797) we 
do not detect any source.  Preliminary photometry of a combined image is 
following
