We performed optical observations of the field of a fast X-Ray transient EP250321a (Hu et al., GCN 39800) in the Free filter using 2.16-m telescope located at Xinglong, Hebei, China. In the band a 600 s exposures were taken , with a median observation time of 2025-03-02T20:32:28.
No uncatalogued optical transient is detected in the stacked images within the 3 arcmin EP/WXT error circle (Li et al., GCN 36405), down to 3-sigma limiting magnitudes of g ~ 20.5, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field. Also there is no apparent brightening for the catalogued sources within the error circle.
