The observation session began on 03 July 2025 at 17:04\nUT, with a midpoint at 17:42 UT, approximately 20.6 hours after the trigger.\n\n \n\nWe obtained multiple 180-second exposures using the Ic filter. The optical\nafterglow was marginally detected at:\n\nR.A. (J2000): 14:11:44.6  \n\nDec. (J2000): +16:44:55\n\n \n\nOur detection is consistent with the results of (Jelinek et al., GCN 40895;\nKumar et al., GCN 40896; Lipunov et al., GCN 40899; Martin-Carrillo et al.,\nGCN 40900; Angulo et al., GCN 40907; Becerra et al., GCN 40911; Brivio et\nal., GCN 40913; An et al., GCN 40916; Dutton et al., GCN 40921).\n\n \n\nThe following observation was calculated using the Atlas catalogue as a\nreference:\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n-\n\nObsTime (mid), Exposure (sec), Filter, Mag\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n-\n\n2025-07-03T17:42:28Z, 26 x 180s (stacked), Ic, 19.5 +/- 0.4\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n-\n\nThe magnitude is not corrected for galactic extinction.\n\n",
