Caption: Figure 1.

False-color image in grz bands of AT2025ulz from the first epoch of Wendelstein Observatory imaging on 2025 August 18 (M. Busmann et al. 2025a; X. J. Hall et al. 2025b). The transient is visibly off-center from the galaxy. Star-forming regions of the galaxy are noticeable as bluer patches. In this color image the transient is visually enhanced by coadding with a difference image with respect to Legacy Survey data (A. Dey et al. 2019).
