We observed the field of GRB 260619A detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Goto et al., GCN 44985) using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile (CTO).
The previously reported optical counterpart (Ducoin et al., GCN 44999; Li et al., GCN 45003) is detected in our stacked images with a brightness of r~21.4 at a median time of 3.95 hrs post-trigger, calibrated with Pan-STARRS DR2 stars in the field and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
