on behalf of the CNEOST collaboration:

We conducted optical imaging observations for gravitational wave alert 
with Chinese Near Earth Object Survey Telescope (CNEOST) at Xuyi 
astronomical station in Jiangsu Province, China (32.75N, 118.47E). The 
information of observations and preliminary results are listed below.
