"We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB 050522 (GCN3446 ; INTEGRAL Trigger time is 06:00:21 UT)
with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope
at University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 11:15:40 UT on May.22.
Observed field of view is 43 arcmin centered on
R.A=+13:20:38
Dec=+24:44:13
After co-adding a set of 21 images (11:15:40 - 11:55:21 UT)
of 30 sec exposures, we have compared with the USNO A2.0 catalog.
Preliminary analysis shows there is no new source brighter than
16.5 mag.
