Eleonora Troja (GSFC/UMD) report:

We observed the field of the Fermi/GBM GRB 210518.889 (trigger 643065622) with
the DDOTI wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional on Sierra
San Pedro Martir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2021-05-19 03:26 to 05:15
UTC (from 6.1 to 7.9 hours after the trigger).

We observed a region covering aproximately 20 degrees in RA and 20 degrees in
declination (6 instrumental fields or about 400 square degrees) centered on the
final GBM position of 12:51:24.00 +36:55:12.0 J2000 and obtained 600 of exposure
per instrumental field in the w filter. We obtained AB photometry by calibration
against the APASS catalog.

We detect no likely candidate for the afterglow to our 10-sigma upper limits of
w = 19.00 to 19.35 (interquartile range).

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro Martir.
