We began to observe X-ray transient LXT 240402A (Xu et all., GCN 36106) detected by LEIA,
which was also detected by GECAME-C as GRB 240402B (Xue et al., GCN 36107),
with GWAC-F50A telescope, at Xinglong station, China, at 19:22:13 (UT), 03. April. 2024,
about 34.57 hours after the burst. The weather was not good.
After stacking 5*200 seconds, no any new sources were detected in our stacked image
down to a limit magnitude of 18.0 mag in R band comparing to several nearby USNO B1.0 stars.
We acknowledge the excellent support from observation assistant Yangtong Zheng.
