We observed the field of GRB 200115A detected by BAT/Swift (Cenko, GCN
Circ. 26771), with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio
Astron��mico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro M��rtir (
http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2020-01-16 02:01 to 2020-01-16 02:19
UTC (14.2 to 14.48 hours after the event).
We observed a region of 6.8 degrees in RA by 10.2 degrees in declination
centered on the peak of the Swift-BAT on-board calculated location
03:45:48.7 +05:36:26.0 J2000. This region contains about 70 square degrees.
We obtained about 16 minutes total exposure across the region.
We calibrated our images against the APASS catalog. Our 3-sigma limiting
magnitude is w = 19.80 for the enhanced Swift-BAT error region (Laha et
al., GCN Circ. 26780). Comparing to the USNO-B1 and SDSS DR9 catalogs we do
not detect any uncataloged source to our 3-sigma limit.
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional in San Pedro
M��rtir.
