We observed the field of the IceCube-250706A (GCN 40994Loading...
 
 ) (goldtrack) event with the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir in Mexico on the night of 2025-07-07 UTC.

COLIBRÍ tiled the IceCube error region, starting at 03:43:42 UTC, e.g T+14.5 h after the trigger, for about 1h distributed over 4 tiles (26x26 arcmin); the maximum exposure at a single sky location was 16x60 s. 

The data were coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed in STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). 

Comparing our observations (and after performing image subtraction) against Pan-STARRS DR2, we detect no evident uncatalogued sources within the observed field to a 5-sigma limiting AB magnitude of:

i > 21.6 for the first tile (3 min exp.), centered on (RA, Dec) = (17:43:12.00, +38:46:11.6)
i > 21.1 for the second tile (3 min exp.), centered on (RA, Dec) = (17:43:12.00 +39:10:12.0)	
i >  21.9 for the third tile (16 min exp.), centered on (RA, Dec) = (17:44:48.00, +39:10:12.0)
i > 22.3 for the fourth tile (16 min exp.), centered on (RA, Dec) = (17:44:48.00, +38:46:12.0)

These values are not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
