  "body": "A. Bochenek and D. A. Perley (LJMU) report:\n \nWe observed the field of EP261006a (Lao et al., GCN 45826) using the IO:O optical camera on the 2m robotic Liverpool Telescope. We obtained multiple exposures in SDSS ugriz filters, starting at 2026-10-09 23:50:23 UT, approximately 3.25 days after trigger.\n \nWe detect a source in the subtracted images in all filters at the counterpart position reported by Eyles-Ferris et al. (GCN 45831) and Jiang et al. (GCN 45833). The source remains blue, and remains at a similar brightness to our previous observations (Bochenek et al., GCN 45853).\n \n| MJD (start)    | T_mid-T_0  | Filter | Exposures | Mag. (AB)   |\n| ------------ | ---------- | ------ | --------- | ----------- |\n| 61322.99333  | 3.25 d     | SDSS-g |  2x90s    |18.54 ± 0.07 |\n| 61322.99593  | 3.25 d     | SDSS-r |  3x90s    |18.77 ± 0.07 |\n| 61322.99976  | 3.26 d     | SDSS-i |  3x90s    |19.04 ± 0.07 |\n| 61323.00359  | 3.26 d     | SDSS-z |  3x90s    |19.26 ± 0.07 |\n| 61323.00749  | 3.27 d     | SDSS-u |  4x100s   |18.09 ± 0.09 |\n \nFurther observations are scheduled. The photometry is in the AB magnitude system, was calibrated using nearby PanSTARRS or SDSS secondary standards and was not corrected for extinction.",
