S. Rosetti, N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez, D. Steeghs,
K. Wiersema report on behalf of the VINROUGE collaboration:

NIR follow-up observations were carried out using the 4m ESO/VISTA 
telescope at the Paranal Observatory (Cerro Paranal, Chile) in response 
to the LIGO/Virgo trigger G297595/GW170814 (GCN� 21474). 
The observations took place between 05:37:37 UT on 14 August 2017 
and 09:47:17.6 UT on 16 August 2017. 22 tiles were produced for each 
filter (Ks, J and Y), each covering a 1.5 square degree area. Analysis
is ongoing.  The targeted areas are listed as follows:
