We observed the field of the Fermi GBM GRB 231205A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN
Circ. 35263) with the DDOTI wide-field imager at the Observatorio
Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir (
http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2023-12-05 12:55:13 to 13:10:57 UTC
(10.50 to 11.75 hours after the trigger).
We observed a region of 7 degrees in RA by 7 degrees in declination
centered on the Fermi GBM Final Position of RA = 206.1 and Dec = 22.8
(J2000 degrees). This region contains 1 instrumental field or about 49
square degrees. We obtained 13.6 minutes of exposure per instrumental field
in the w filter. We obtained AB photometry by calibration against the APASS
catalog.
We detect no likely candidates for the afterglow to our 10-sigma upper
limits of w = 18.89-19.41 (inter-quartile).
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on San Pedro
Mártir.
