Nachiket Girish, and Alexei V. Filippenko (UC Berkeley) report
on behalf of the Lick/KAIT GW follow-up team:

The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at
Lick Observatory, observed the 90% region of the gravitational-wavei
event S190706ai (GCN 24998) detected by LIGO/Virgo. More than one
thousand galaxies were selected from the Glade catalog V1.0 (Dalya et al.,
2018, MNRAS, 479, 2374; http://aquarius.elte.hu/glade/)
according to their priority score. KAIT observed 129 of them based on
their priority scores and elevation visibility, with each clear-filter
exposure time being 60 s. The first image was taken at 04:22:48, July
7th UT, about 5.9 hours after the trigger, and the last image at 07:18:41
UT.
Our typical limiting mag is 19.0. No viable counterparts were identified
and the analysis is ongoing. A full list of galaxies observed by KAIT
is given below.
