We have observed the field of GRB 080503 (Mao et al.,
GCN 7665) from the 2.5m NOT (+MOSCA) under bad
atmospheric conditions. We do not detect the object reported
by Perley et al. (GCN 7678) down to a  3-sigma limiting
magnitude of R~21.7 at a mean time of 6.091 May 2008 UT
(2.573 days after the burst).
