We observed 23 host galaxy candidates with the 1.0-m telescope at the
Lemonsan Optical Astronomical Observatory(LOAO) in the 90% updated
localization area of S190426c, detected by LIGO/Virgo (GCN #24237).
The observation started at 2019-04-27 09:14:26, and the images were taken
twice in R-band with 120 sec exposure time. No obvious transient has been
identified to a preliminary 3-sigma depth of R=20.8 AB mag. The list of the
inspected targets is given below.

The observation of host galaxy candidates and the analysis of the data are
ongoing.
We thank the LOAO opertator for performing the observation.
