behalf of a Chinese Gravitational Wave collaboration:
We have performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo G268556 (LVC, GCN
20364) using the Nanshan One-meter Wide field Telescope (NOWT),
Xinjiang, China, the 0.6/0.9-m Schmidt telescope at Xinglong, Hebei,
China, and the 1-m telescope at Xuyi, Jiangsu, China.
The Nanshan 1-m has a FOV of 1.3x1.3 deg^2, and covered the position of
ATLAS17aeu (Tonry et al. GCN 20382), the potential optical afterglow of
GRB 170105A (e.g., Marcinkowski et al., GCN 20387
