We imaged the field of the Fermi GRB 251006B (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 42131, Preis
 et al., GCN Circ 42132, Yin et al., GCN Circ. 42137) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2025-10-07T06:00:50 to 06:19:48 UTC (from 9.93 to 10.25 hours after the trigger) and obtained 13 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters.

The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.

In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the EP-WXT source position (Yin et al., GCN Circ. 42137) down to the following 5-sigma limit:

r > 21.0
z > 20.6


We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.

COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.
