A. Bochenek, D. A. Perley (LJMU), report:

We observed the field of the optical counterpart (O'Neil et al., GCN 44903

) of GRB 260610b (Fu et al., GCN 44901) using the IO:O optical camera on the 2m robotic Liverpool Telescope. We obtained 5x120s exposures in SDSS griz filters, starting at 2026-06-10 23:39:02 UT, approximately 23.9 hours after trigger.

We detect a source in the stacked images in all filters at the position reported by O'Neil et al. (GCN 44903

), observed also by Watson et al. (GCN 44905); Zhu et al. (GCN 44909); Gillanders et al. (GCN 44910); Akl et al. (GCN 44911); O'Neill et al. (GCN 44914); Moskvitin et al. (GCN 44918); Jackson-Horne et al. (GCN 44919); Izzo, (GCN 44920), and Li et al. (GCN 44921). The photometry is:

MJD (mid)T_mid-T_0FilterMag. (AB)
61202.9894723.98 hr20.22 ± 0.02
61202.9979524.18 hi19.89 ± 0.02
