We started to observe the field of EP241107a detected by EP-WXT (Zhou et al. GCN 38112) on 2024-11-07T14:15:49 UT, ~ 5.42 mins after the trigger with C-GFT in the commissioning phase. A series of images were obtained with exposure time of 10s. The uncatalogued object reported by Odeh et al. (GCN 38115) was detected in stacked image with mag_i = 17.12 +/-0.10 at ~5.7 mins after the trigger. There is no obviously decay found during ~22 mins observation.
The photometry was calibrated with nearby PS1 star.
We thank the observation assistant Yinghuai Hao and Chunlei Guo at Jilin observatory for their excellent support.
Chinese Ground Follow-up Telescope of SVOM mission is located at Jilin, Changchun Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories, CAS. It has FOV of 1.28 deg x 1.28 deg with a 4k*4k CMOS detector mounted on the primary focus of 1.2-meter-aperure telescope.
