We took images on the location of two events of EWE001 and EWE002 (Liu et
al LVC Circ. 20382) with our GWAC_F60B (60cm) telescope, which is dedicated
to identify transient candidates found by GWAC (a part of ground instrument
of SVOM mission)  at Xinglong Observatory, China. Observation were obtained
in R band for 15 X 900s expoures during 16:49:29 and 22:02:03 (UTC) on
Juanary 8, 2017. The two events(objects) are corresponding to known objects
in USNO-B1.0 catalog.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

EWE001: mag_R = 16.98   mag_R2(in USNO) = 15.35

EWE002: mag_R=16.77    mag_R2(in USNO) = 16.57

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The photometric uncertainty is ~ 5%. The comparison star is object with
mag_R2 =16.17 (09:13:19.611  61:05:44.13 J2000).
