Zhang (Nanjing Univ.) and A. Maury (Space, San Pedro de Atacama), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report:

Following the detection of the fast X-ray transient EP241101a by the Einstein Probe (Liang et al. GCNC 38039), the 0.6m BOOTES-7 robotic telescope at San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) observed the fast X-ray transient location starting on Nov 02, 04:55 UT (5 hours after trigger and 4 minutes after notification) in different optical bands. No new optical source is detected on the co-added images (clear-filter) within the EP/WXT 2.8 arcmin radius error box down to 20.1 mag.
We thank the staff at San Pedro de Atacama Celestial Explorations observatory for their excellent support.
