We observed the field of EP260623a detected by EP (Wang et al., GCN 45020) using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile. Observations started at 04:32:21.6 UTC on 2026-06-23, i.e., 1.638 hrs after the EP trigger, and a series of frames were obtained in Sloan r-band.
The optical counterpart (Li et al., GCN 45021; Izzo et al., GCN 45022; Angulo et al., GCN 45024; Brivio et al., GCN 45025) is clearly detected in our r-band images, with r = 17.13 +/- 0.02 at 1.767 hrs post-burst, calibrated with Panstarrs DR2 stars in the field and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
