We observe the field of the IceCube-251025A (bronze) event (IceCube Collaboration, GCN Circ. 42436) 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 2025-10-26 UTC.
DDOTI observed from 10:41 UTC to 12:41 UTC (T+20.9 h to T+22.9 h after the trigger), with a total exposure time of 24 minutes, covering the entire error region reported by IceCube (IceCube Collaboration, GCN Circ. 42436). These observations were interleaved with other scientific programs.
Comparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and PanSTARRS PS1 DR2 catalogues, we detect no uncatalogued sources within the observed field to a 10-sigma limiting AB magnitude of:
w > 20.0.
Further observations are planned to assess variability.
This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Mártir.
