Report:
We observed the field of GRB 250419A detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Wang et al. GCN 40168) with the 11 inches Schmidt-Cassegrain (Celestron 11) telescope F/D=6,3.
The observations were started at 2025-04-19 23:55 UT (approximately 21.43 hours after burst) stacking a set of unfiltered CCD image. The observations were carried out with clear skies
and good visibility conditions.
The OT was detected at the following position:
RA (J2000.0) 13h 29m 37.33s
Decl. (J2000.0) +07° 02' 27.5"
Photometry was obtained using nearby PanSTARRS stars as follows:
Observation Mid-Time T-T0 (hr) Exposure Filter Mag. Err.
2025-04-20 01:19:29 UT 22.83 164x60s CR 19.76 +/-0.06
Magnitude was calibrated with the nearby PanSTARRS stars converted using Lupton (2005) equations.
No correction for galactic dust extinction was applied.
Our observations are consistent with other already reported López et al. (GCN 40169), Xin et al. (GCN 40170), Zheng et al. (GCN 40171), Kumar et al. (GCN 40172), Lipunov et al.
