The Explosive Transient Camera (ETC) is a dedicated wide-field sky monitor for short-duration optical transients. The ETC operates completely automatically, searching for transients in the night sky without the need for a human observer on site. Data products from the ETC include data from any transients detected, as well as CCD images of the fields-of-view observed. We report here the imaging by the ETC of the 2.5σ error region of GRB 941014 90 seconds after the end of the burst.
