report on behalf of the Carnegie Gravitational wave ElectroMagnetic follow-up (CGEM) and the One-Meter Two-Hemisphere (1M2H) collaborations:

We have continued our galaxy-targeted search (GCN 36244, GCN 36267) for optical counterparts to the candidate gravitational wave event S240422ed (GCN 36236) using Teglon (Coulter 2021) with the LDSS-3 imager on the 6.5m Magellan Clay telescope.  We obtained a series of 120-second i-band images targeting galaxies coincident with the 3D localization of S240422ed.  We performed a preliminary search of the data by comparing to archival Pan-STARRS (Chambers et al., 2016) and DECaPS2 (Saydjari et al. 2022) images, and found no obvious transient sources near the targeted galaxies.  However, we note that several images were deeper than the comparison images, precluding the exclusion of some faint sources detected in only the new images as transient sources.  The images have typical depths of i~21.5-22.5 mag, varying with seeing and airmass.

We thank Marcelo Mora, Povilas Palunas, and the rest of the LCO staff for making these observations possible.

Below we provide a list of targeted galaxies (including those previously listed in GCN 36244 for completeness) and observation details.
