López-Oramas (IAC and ULL), and D. Aguado (IAC and ULL)\n\nFollowing the detection of the SVOM/ECLAIRs GRB 260515A (Brunet et al., GCN 44622), detected also in Einstein Probe FXT follow-up observations (Wang et al., GCN 44642), we observed the field with one of the three Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) 1-m telescopes, equipped with Sinistro cameras, located at the LCO node at Sutherland Observatory, South Africa. The observation, a single exposure of 180 sec in the SDSS r' filter, started on 2026-05-15 at 21:17:54 UT, 2.16 hours after the SVOM trigger. The optical counterpart (He et al., GCN 44623; Saccardi et al., GCN 44624; Sosnovskij et al., GCN 44625; He et al., GCN 44626; Wu et al., GCN 44628; Malesani et al., GCN 44629; Dennefeld et al., GCN 44633; \nLi et al., GCN 44634; and Antier et al., GCN 44643) with redshift of z = 0.764 (Malesani et al., GCN 44629) is clearly detected in our image with an AB magnitude of r' = 20.32 +/- 0.10, calibrated \nagainst the PanSTARRS-1 DR2 catalog and not corrected for Galactic extinction.\n\nThis work makes use of observations from the Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope network (LCO program IAC2026A-011, 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",
