Palmerio (CEA) report on behalf of the SVOM team.\n\nSVOM/VT performed an automatic slew on the burst triggered by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Xie et al., GCN 41243). SVOM/VT began observing the field automatically at 2025-08-06T08:02:01.000 UTC, 227 seconds after the T0, with the slew of the platform triggered on-board, in VT_B (400nm-650nm) and VT_R (650nm-1000nm) channels simultaneously.\n \nWith downlinked VHF data, no any candidates were found in stacked images within the errorbox of SVOM/MXT (Xie et al., GCN 41243) compared to Legacy survey.\n\nThe 3 sigma limit in AB magnitude was derived as follows:\n---------------------------------------------------------\n(T-T0)_mid(s)  exptime(s)   Band    upperlim (3sigma)\n 377              300       VT_R       21.5\n\nMore deeper photometry in near-inferred is encouraged to investigate the nature of the burst. \n\nThe Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. VT was jointly developed by Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), CAS and National astronomical observatories (NAOC), CAS.",
