We observed the field of GRB260604C detected by Fermi-GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 44822) and SVOM (Gotz et al, GCN 44823), using the JinShan 100B telescope located at Altay, Xinjiang, China. Observation started at 2026-06-04T20:32:14 UT, i.e., about 13 min post-burst, and a series of r-band frames were obtained.

The previously reported optical counterpart (Lipunov et al, GCN 44827; Konno et al, GCN 44828) is detected in our first single frame with a brightness of R = 16.1 +/- 0.1, calibrated with Pan-STARRS DR2 stars in the field and not corrected for Galactic extinction.

We acknowledge the excellent support from T.Q. Chen, and J.F. Zhang for enabling these observations.
