Bai (YNAO/CAS) report on behalf of the GWFUNC collaboration: We have performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo G275697 (LVC, GCN 20763) using the 1-m Chinese Near Earth Object Survey Telescope (CNEOST) at Xuyi, Jiangsu, China. CNEOST carried out observations during 11:29:44.6 UT - 14:51:15.1 UT on 2017-02-28 in the Sloan r-filter. The imaging coverage on top of the GW probability map is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3665676/G275697/skymapG275697CNEOST.pdf and the limiting magnitude varied from m(r)~16 to ~20 mag due to weather variation. Preliminary analysis doesn't reveal credible optical transients except supernovae discovered prior to the G275697 trigger time.
