of the SVOM follow-up team:

We observed the field of SVOM GRB 250610B (Saccardi et al., GCN 40671) with
the GWAC-F60A and GWAC-F50 at Xinglong Observatory, China. F60A started
observing at 2025-06-10T17:14:17.39 UTC with a set of 34 images in R-band.
F50 started observing at 2025-06-10T17:14:17.39 UTC and with a set of 9
images in R-band.

After coadding the images, we do not find any uncatalog candidate within
the SVOM/ECLAIRs error box. We estimate the upper limit of 16.0 mag for
GWAC-F60A at mid time of 54.5 minutes after brust, and upper limit of 17.5
mag for GWAC-F50 at mid time of 54.0 minutes after brust.

Two 60cm GWAC-F60(A/B) are operated by Guangxi University and NAOC, CAS, at
Xinglong Observatory, China. The field of view is 19*19 arcmin.  The 50cm
telescope (F50A) is operated by Huaibei Normal University and NAOC, CAS, at
Xinglong Observatory, China. The field of view is 27*27 arcmin.
