W. X. Li, S. J. Xue (NAOC), M. Andrews, J. Farah, D. A. Howell, M. Newsome, E. Padilla Gonzalez, C. McCully, and G. Terreran (Las Cumbres Observatory), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report the optical follow-up observations of the optical candidate counterpart to the fast X-ray transient EP241021a (Hu et al., GCN 37834, Fu et al., GCN 37840, Fu et al., GCN 37842).

Our observations were conducted on 2024 Oct. 23.3 UT using the 1-meter telescope at the Las Cumbres Observatory node located at McDonald Observatory in USA. The transient is detected in the images with
r = 21.9 + -0.1
i = 21.7 +- 0.1
Further follow-up observations are encouraged.

These observations were taken as part of the Global Supernova Project.
