López-Oramas (IAC and ULL)\n\nFollowing the detection of the long GRB 260101A, detected by Fermi (Fermi GBM team, GCN #43284) and Swift (Cenko et al., GCN #43285), we observed the field with one of the two Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) 1-m telescopes, equipped with Sinistro cameras, located at the LCO node at McDonald Observatory, Texas. The observation, a single exposure of 180 sec in the SDSS r' filter, started on 2026-01-01 at 01:55:13 UT, about 58.7 minutes after the Fermi and Swift triggers. The optical counterpart detected by Swift UVOT (Cenko et al., GCN #43285), is clearly detected in our image with a magnitude of r' = 17.67 +/- 0.04, calibrated against PanSTARRS-1 DR2 stars and not corrected for Galactic extinction.\n\nThis work makes use of observations from the Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope network (LCO program IAC2025B-008, SGLF and Superluminous Supernovae surveys).\n\nThis work made use of the Astro-COLIBRI platform (P. Reichherzer et al. 2021, ApJS, 256, 5).\n\n",
