We imaged the field of the alert EP251214.305 using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2025-12-14T08:18:20.806 to 2025-12-14T09:02:02.207 UTC (from 3478 to 6099 seconds after the trigger) and obtained 1920 seconds of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters.
The data were reduced, coadded and analyzed with the COLIBRÍ pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and was not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the WXT uncertainty region down to the following 5-sigma limit:
r > 22.69
z > 21.83

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.
