Following the detection of EP250101a by EP-WXT (Y. F. Liang et al., GCN 38778), we observed the field of EP250101a using the 80cm telescope at Xinglong Observatory, NAOC. We obtained 11x400s clear-band frames with a median time of 2025-01-03T01:08:55 i.e., 43 hr after the EP trigger. No uncatalogued optical transient is detected in the stacked images within the 3.2 arcmin EP/WXT error circle (Y. F. Liang et al., GCN 38778), down to 5-sigma limiting magnitudes of clear ~ 20.1, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field. Also, there is no apparent brightening for the catalogued sources within the error circle.
