report on behalf of the One-Meter Two Hemisphere (1M2H) collaboration:

in the process of following up the localization region of LIGO/Virgo collaboration (LVC) event S190814bv (GCN #25324), we observed the following fields with the 1.0-m Swope telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile on UT 2019 August 15.  We covered approximately 42.1% of the probability region from the LALinference map provided by the LVC in GCN #25333.

The Swope Direct 4k x 4k imager covers 29.8 arcmin x 29.7 arcmin.  All images were 2 minute r-band exposures.  For each image, the approximate pointing center and 3-sigma limiting magnitude are indicated.  Using the photpipe image reduction and subtraction pipeline (Rest et al. 2005, ApJ, 634, 1103), we compared our images to publicly available DECam r-band images of the same fields.  We did not detect any new transients in these images.
