  "body": "WeiKang Zheng (UCB), Xuhui Han (NAOC), Pinpin Zhang (NAOC) and\n\nAlexei V. Filippenko (UCB) report on behalf of the KAIT GRB team:\n\n\n\nThe 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at\n\nLick Observatory, automatically responded to the fast X-ray\n\ntransient EP240806a from the Einstein Probe (Wu et al. GCNC 37063)\n\nstarting at 09:23 UT, ~4.60 hours after the trigger. A set of 24x60s\n\nclear (roughly R) filter images were obtained. The optical counterpart\n\nreported by Li et al. (GCN 37064), Izzo et al. (GCN 37065) and\n\nPérez-Fournon et al. (GCN 37080) was marginally detected in our\n\ncoadded images. The preliminary photometry gives a results of\n\n21.6 +/- 0.1 mag at a mid time of 5.14 hours after the trigger.\n"
