We observed the LIGO/Virgo trigger S190512at (GCN #24503) with GWAC-F60A. Two 60cm GWAC-F60(A/B) are operated by Guangxi University and NAOC, CAS, at Xinglong Observatory. China. They are equipped with Standard
Johnson filters and 2Kx2K Andor CCD (FOV~18x18 arcmin). GWAC-F60(A/B) are used for galaxy-targeted observations. The galaxies are selected from the GLADE catalog (Version 2.3, Dalya et al. 2018) in the probability skymap of GW event. All these galaxies were observed in clear band.

The first image was taken ~19.7 hours after the event trigger time T0=2019-05-12 18:07:14 UTC. No credible new source was detected in our pipeline. A total number of 43 galaxies were observed. The coordinates (J2000) of galaxies, the observation time, the limit magnitude (3sigma) and telescopes are listed below:
