 N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), V. Rumyantsev (CrAO) report on
behalf of GRB-IKI-FuN collaboration:

We observed the EP241101a detected by EP-WXT (Liang et al., GCN 38039) with
the 2.6-meter ZTSh telescope of CrAO in the  R-filter. The observations
were carried out on 02.11.2024 and 03.11.2024. We found several OT
candidates entire the EP-WXT localization area. In particular the source
(PS1 catalog PSO J037.7952+22.7485) reported by Busmann et al., GCN 38064
and the source reported by Adami et al., GCN 38060 were also marked as
candidates in our preliminary analysis. And we do not find any sources
within the enhanced localization area of EP-FXT (Wu et al., GCN 38073).
Preliminary photometry of the sources and upper limits are the following:

Photometry is calibrated using nearby USNO-B1.0 stars (R2 magnitude).

Based on our observations and previously reported candidates, we cannot
suggest an obvious candidate for OT EP341101a.
