W. X. Li, S. J. Xue (NAOC), M. Andrews, J. Farah, D. A. Howell, M. Newsome, E. Padilla Gonzalez, C. McCully, and G. Terreran (Las Cumbres Observatory), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report the optical follow-up observations of the optical candidate counterpart to the fast X-ray transient EP240804a (Wang et al. 37034; An et al. 37035).

Our observations were conducted on 2024 Aug. 05.3 UT using the 1-meter telescope at the Las Cumbres Observatory node located at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory in Chile. The transient is detected in r-band images:
r = 20.7+-0.1
Further follow-up observations are encouraged.

These observations were taken as part of the Global Supernova Project.
