We observed the field of EP250827a (Hua et al., GCN 41553), using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile. (CTO) Observations started at 08:19:45 UTC on 2025-08-27, i.e., ~ 39 min after the EP/WXT trigger and a series of frames in the r band were obtained. 

We clearly detect the optical counterpart(Levan et al., GCN 41554; Li et al., GCN 41555; Lipunov et al., GCN 41558; Gritsevich et al., GCN 41559) in our images. Preliminary photometry shows that the source has r ~ 18.93 +/- 0.03 mag at 51.6 min post-trigger, calibrated with Legacy DR10 catalog and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
