(INAF-OAAb, INAF-OAR) on behalf of GRAWITA report:We observed part of the
50% probability of the updated skymap of the LIGO/Virgo GW trigger S190509g
(LVC, GCN Circ. 24442), with the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) at ESO-Paranal
equipped with OMEGACAM (FOV=1 square degree). The observations were taken
in the r-sloan band and started on 2019-05 11 at 00:03:23 UT.The covered
area is of about 15 square degrees divided in of 80 sec of exposure time
each.The pointings are centered on the following coordinates RA, Dec
