Liu(NAOC) report on behalf of a large collaboration:\n\nFollowing the detection of EP240506a by EP-WXT (Li et al., GCN 36405), we observed the field of EP240506a using the 2.16-m telescope at Xinglong Observatory, NAOC. We obtained 3x600s clear-band frames with a median time of 2024-05-07T15:16:34 i.e., 10 hr after the EP trigger.\n\nNo uncatalogued optical transient is detected in the stacked images within the 3 arcmin EP/WXT error circle (Li et al., GCN 36405), down to 3-sigma limiting magnitudes of g ~ 23.1, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field. Also, there is no apparent brightening for the cataloged sources within the error circle."
