Lee (UNAM), Océlotl López (UNAM), Margarita Pereyra (UNAM) and Eleonora Troja (U Roma) report:\n\nWe observe the field of the IceCube-251018A (gold) event (IceCube Collaboration, GCN Circ. 42352) with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Martir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-10-19 UTC.\n\nDDOTI observed from 03:00 UTC to 06:18 UTC (from T+21.9 h to T+25.2 h after the trigger) with a total exposure of 96 min, covering the total error region reported by IceCube (IceCube Collaboration, GCN Circ 42352).\n\nComparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and PanSTARRS PS1 DR2, we detect no uncatalogued sources within the observed field to a 10-sigma limiting AB magnitude of:\n\nw > 20.6.\n\nFurther observations are planned to assess variability. \n\nThis value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.\n\nWe thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Mártir."
