Poidevin (IAC and ULL)\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 250114A, detected by Swift BAT, XRT, and UVOT (Klingler et al., GCN 38927; Beardmore et al., GCN 38936) using one of the Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope network (LCOGT) 1-m telescopes, equipped with Sinistro cameras, at the LCOGT node at Siding Spring Observatory (Australia). The observation, a single 600-sec exposure in the SDSS i' filter, started at 2025-01-14 13:59:32 UT, i.e. ~ 6.44 hr after the Swift BAT trigger. The optical afterglow is detected at a position consistent with the UVOT coordinates (Klingler et al., GCN 38927). Me measure a magnitude of i' = 20.17 +/- 0.22, calibrated against PanSTARRS DR2 stars and not corrected for Galactic extinction.\n\nOther groups have reported optical and near-IR detections of the afterglow: An et al. (GCN 38929), Malesani and Izzo (GCN 38930), Brivio et al. (GCN 38933) and Malesani et al. (GCN 38934). A redshift of z = 4.732 has been reported by Malesani et al. (GCN 38934).\n\nThis work makes use of observations from the Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope network (LCOGT observing programme IAC2024B-004, SGLF).",
