Xiong (Yunnan Observatories of CAS, Kunming), and W. H. Lee (UNAM, Mexico DF), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report:

Following the detection of EP250511a by EP (Lian et al., GCNC 40429), the 0.6m BOOTES-5/JGU robotic telescope at San Pedro Martir Observatory (Mexico) automatically responded to this high-energy event starting on May 11, 09:22:17 UT (i.e. 1.3 hours after detection and 1 min after notification). No optical transient is detected down to 18.2 mag (clear filter).

We would like to thank the staff at San Pedro Martir Observatory for their excellent support.
