), we observed the field of EP250212a using Tsinghua-NAOC 0.8-m telescope (TNT) located at Xinglong, Hebei, China. A total of 3600 s N-band exposures were taken , with a median observation time of 2025-02-12 14:27:29, approximately 6.72 hours after the EP trigger. No optical counterpart was detected, with a 5-sigma limiting magnitude of 20.7, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field. Later,We observed the EP250212a by the Xinglong 2.16-m telescope located at Xinglong, Hebei, China. A total of 1200 s N-band exposures were taken , with a median observation time of 2025-02-12 16:15:05, approximately 8.52 hours after the EP trigger. No optical counterpart was detected, with a 5-sigma limiting magnitude of 21.7, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field.
