The stacked g-band image has a 5-sigma limiting magnitude of ~20.66 mag, calibrated with the Pan-STARRS g-band field. For the 2.16‑m telescope, we obtained 3 x 300 s clear‑band frames with a median time of 2026‑10‑07T15:33:09 UTC, i.e., 0.46 hr after the EP trigger. The stacked clear-band image using the 2.16-m telescope has a 5-sigma limiting magnitude of ~22.21 mag, calibrated with the Pan-STARRS g-band field. No optical counterpart candidate was detected in our 0.8‑m and 2.16‑m observations.\n\nWe summarize our observation results as follows:\nObs. No. |    Start Time (UTC) |  End Time (UTC)     |Exposure Time (s)|Upper limit mag| Telescope\n   1     | 2026-10-07 15:27:53 | 2026-10-07 15:43:05 | 3x300 s | 20.66 | Xinglong 0.8-m Telescope\n   2     | 2026-10-07 15:28:02 | 2026-10-07 15:43:41 | 3x300 s | 22.21 | Xinglong 2.16-m Telescope",
