We observed the field of HAWC-190916A (Ayala, GCN Circ 25766, 25768) with the
DDOTI wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional on Sierra San
Pedro Martir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2019-09-17 03:14 to 2019-09-17
04:17 UTC (2.0 to 3.1 hours after the trigger).

We obtained a total of 2340 seconds of exposure in the w filter. We calibrated
our images against the APASS catalog. Our 10-sigma limiting magnitude is w =
19.5.

Comparing our 10-sigma detections against the USNO-B1 catalog, we detect no
reliable uncataloged sources with significant fading within 1.7 degrees of the
nominal coordinates.

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro Martir.
