We observed the field of the GRB 250520A detected by Swift/BAT (Eyles-Ferris
et al., GCN Circ. 40491), SVOM/GRM (SVOM/GRM team, GCN Circ. 40495) and AstroSat/CZTI (Tembhurnikar et al., GCN Circ. 40497) with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-05-20 UTC.
DDOTI observed the field of GRB 250520B from 06:59 UTC to 08:48 UTC (from T+4.3 h to T+6.2 h after the trigger) and obtained a total exposure of 22 minutes, alternating with other scientific programs.
Comparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 catalogues, we detect no any uncatalogued source at the position reported by Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 40314) down to a 3-sigma limiting AB magnitude of:
w > 20.5
This value is consistent with the reported by GOTO (Kumar et al., GCN Circ. 40493)
These values are not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
