We observed the field of GRB 250904A (Salvaggio et al., GCN 41704), using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at New South Wales, Australia (SBO). Observations started at 17:49:41.450 UTC on 2025-09-04, i.e., ~ 12.6 min after the Swift/BAT trigger and a series of frames in the R band were obtained.
An uncatalogued source is detected in our stacked image within the enhanced Swift/XRT error circle (Evans et al., GCN 41706) with magnitude of R = 20.1 +/- 0.2 (AB) at 18.97 min post-trigger, calibrated with Pan-STARRS1 DR2 catalog converted using Lupton (2005) equations and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
