Perez del Pulgar (UMA, Malaga), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report:

Following the detection of X-ray transient candidate EP J1350.0-8622 by Einstein Probe (Liu et al., GCNC 40548), the BOOTES-6/DPRT 0.6m robotic telescope at Boyden Observatory in Maselspoort (South Africa) responded to this event starting on May 26, 16:59 UT (~ 17.7 h after trigger). No new source is detected in the WXT region up to magnitude 20.3 using the clear filter and Gaia DR3 Gmag magnitude as reference.

We thank the staff at Boyden Observatory for their excellent support.
