We observe the field of the IceCube 250414.324 (cascade) event with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Martir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-04-15 UTC.

DDOTI automatically pointed the region centred in RA, Dec (J2000)= 10:31:34.05 +09:16:36.1, covering about 48% of the IceCube error region. DDOTI observed from 03:18 UTC to 08:35 UTC (from T+19.5 h to T+24.8  h after the trigger) with a total exposure of 1.94 hours, alternating with other scientific programs. 

Comparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and PanSTARRS PS1 DR2 catalogues, we detect no uncatalogued sources within the observed field to an average 10-sigma limiting AB magnitude of 

w > 20.0 

This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
