We observed 27 sky regions (total: 4050 square degrees with overlaps)
to cover the skymap of the advanced LIGO/Virgo trigger S190930s,
with SVOM/GWAC, at Xinglong Observatory equipped with a set of two
types of wide angle cameras: FFOV cameras (FOV~900 square degrees/camera,
aperture = 3.5 cm) and JFOV cameras (FOV~150 square degrees/camera,
aperture = 18 cm). SVOM/GWAC currently comprises 4 FFOV cameras and
16 JFOV cameras, working with unfiltered band. The observations are
operated in time-series mode, taking one exposure every 25 seconds
(20s exposure + 5s readout). We estimate a 77.2% prior
probability that the observed and processed regions contain
the true location of the source. The images were taken between
~15 minutes before and ~5 hours after the event trigger time.

The coordinates of the 27 sky regions observed after the trigger
and their observation times are listed below:

The sky region #22 was observed at the time of the trigger (it has
3.5% probability to contain the true location of the source).

Some sky regions have been observed before the GW event
for a total of 1200 square degrees with overlap
(from ~2 hours to ~ 12 minutes before the event) :

The weather condition was clear during the observations. A 3 sigma
limiting magnitude of about 16.3 mag in R band was obtained in the single
frames. No credible new source is detected by our online pipeline during
follow-up observations. A more detailed image analysis including
co-addition is ongoing with our offline pipeline to search for transient
candidates.
