We observed the field of the likely long Fermi GRB 210503A (trigger
641763254, GCN #29927, Fermi GBM Team) with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager
at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir (
http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on 2021-05-04 from 07:02 to 11:38 UTC (11.5
to   16 hours after the event).

We observed a region of 20.4 degrees in RA by 20.4 degrees in declination,
with a 3 x 2 grid, centered on the Fermi GBM Final Position 328.93d
+66.03d (J2000). This region contains 6 instrumental fields or about 400
square degrees. We obtained 1560 seconds of exposure per instrumental field
in the w filter. We obtained AB photometry by calibration against the APASS
catalog.

We detect no likely candidate for the afterglow to our 10-sigma upper
limits of

w = 19.32 to 19.93 (interquartile range).

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional in San Pedro
Mártir.
