Wei (NAOC), C. Plasse (HKU), A. Li (BNU), report on behalf of the SVOM/C-GFT team:\n \nWe observed the field of GRB 260909A detected by SVOM/ ECLAIRs (Saccardi et al., GCN 45534) with LATIOS on SVOM/C-GFT. Observations started at 2026-09-09T11:39:37.644827 UTC, ~ 21.61min after the trigger. \n \nWe obtained i-band follow-up imaging. After preliminary analysis, no credible candidate was detected within the error box provided by SVOM/MXT (Saccardi et al., GCN 45534) in our images. We measure the following upper limit calibrated against the Pan-STARRS DR1 catalog, and not corrected for Galactic extinction:\n\ni > 20.1 AB (3-sigma, mid-time 28.3 min after the trigger).\n\nWe thank the observation assistants B.-W. Li  and  H.-X. Xue  at Jilin observatory for their excellent support.\n \nThe Chinese Ground Follow-up Telescope (C-GFT) for the SVOM mission is located at Jilin Station, Changchun Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories, CAS. It features two instruments: (1) CATCH at the Cassegrain focus with a 21 arcmin x 21 arcmin FOV for simultaneous g/r/i-band imaging, and (2) LATIOS, a 4k x 4k CMOS camera at the prime focus with a 1.28 deg x 1.28 deg FOV that images in g, r, and i bands via filter switching.",
