WeiKang Zheng (UCB), Xuhui Han (NAOC), Pinpin Zhang (NAOC) and

Alexei V. Filippenko (UCB) report on behalf of the KAIT GRB team:


The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at

Lick Observatory, observed the field of EP241202b (Zhou et al.,

GCN 38426) starting at ~14.3h after the trigger and again at

~39.0h after the trigger. A set of 30x60s images were obtained in

the clear (roughly R) filters for each run. We do not detect the

optical counterpart candidate reported by Ngeow et al. (GCN 38433)

in our coadd images with upper limits of 21.5 mag for both runs.
