We observed the field of GRB 250924A detected by Swift (Siegel et al., GCN Circ. 41959) 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 2025-09-24 UTC.
DDOTI observed the Swift/UVOT position (Siegel et al., GCN Circ. 41959) from 08:35 UTC to 08:40 UTC (from T+17.3 to T+ 22.1 min after the trigger), obtaining a total exposure of 4 minutes.
By comparing our observations with the USNO-B1 and Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 catalogs, we detect an uncatalogued source with a preliminary AB magnitude of:
w = 19.47 +/- 0.19.
