We observed the GRB 261114A field detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Li et al., GCN 46267). The observations were performed under the moderate sky conditions starting from 2026-11-14T11:29:33.330 (~1.94 hours after the trigger) with the 60cm Panzhihua Telescope located at the Sichuan South Observatory (SSO), China. Several frames with 300s exposure each were acquired in L band. There is a marginal detection of the optical counterpart (Wu et al., GCN 46269) in the stacked image with following magnitude:

MJD (Exp_Start)	      MAG                          FILTER                    EXPTIME
61358.478858          20.88 +/- 0.29               L                         12 x 300s

Here we note that during the observations, the target was at a low altitude and moderate weather conditions, thus the result should be considered carefully. Also, the expected Galactic extinction is not applied in these estimates.
