Deep CCD images of the field containing the recurring Optical Transient Source (OTS) 1809+314 recently discovered on archival plates of the Sonneberg Observatory are presented. At the position of OTS 1809+314 no optical counterpart brighter than V = 24.0-24.5, r(Gunn) = 22.0-22.5, and I = 22.0-22.5 is found. In the zero proper motion limit our observations place severe constraints on possible quiescent counterparts. There is no compelling evidence to suggest an association between the historical optical transient source and the gamma-ray burst GB 790325b located about 5 arcmin to the east of OTS 1809+314.
