Ehgamberdiev (UBAI) on behalf of the KU (Korea-Uzbekistan) collaboration\nreport:\n\n We observed several nearby bright galaxies within the error region of the\npossible GW event G194575 (GCN #18442), with the CQUEAN instrument on the\nMcDonald observatory's 2.1m telescope (Park et al. 2012, PASP, 124, 839)\nand LOAO (Mt. Lemmon Astronomy Observatory) 1-m telescope (Lee et al. 2010,\nJKAS, 43, 95). CQUEAN covers a field of view of 4.7' by 4.7' centered on\neach galaxy and LOAO 1-m's field of view is 20' by 20'. The observations\nstarted at 2015-10-23 02:28 (UT) for CQUEAN, and 2015-10-23 07:08 (UT) for\nLOAO. Five galaxies were observed so far in R and I filters with 3 min\nexposure per filter.\n\nName            RA (J2000)   Dec (J2000)    Facility\nNGC 0099     00:23:59.4   +15:46:13      CQUEAN\nUGC 00099   00:10:40.9   +13:42:33      CQUEAN\nUGC 00119   00:13:03.1   +14:24:36      CQUEAN\nPGC 00282   00:04:01.5   -11:10:27      CQUEAN\nArp  256       00:18:50.9  -10:22:36       CQUEAN\nNGC 337      00:59:50.1  -07:34:41       LOAO\n\nNo obvious transient was found in the data taken so far.
