Report on behalf of the TAROT network and GRANDMA collaborations.

We performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo S190814bv event with the
  TAROT-Calern (TCA) telescope operating in the visible located at
Calern site at the Cote d'Azur observatory.
The observation started on 08/15/19 00:09:41 UTC which corresponds
approximately to 180 minutes after the GW trigger time.

We performed the following tiled observations :

TStart and TEnd refers respectively to the time of the first and last
exposure for a given tile. Observations are not necessarily continuous
  in this interval.
The Probability refers to the 2D spatial
probability of the GW skymap enclosed in a given tile. Each tile is
1.9x1.9 degrees. These observations cover about 27% of the cumulative
probability of the bayestar skymap with HLV.
The typical limiting magnitude is 18.0 for a 60.0 s exposure.

No serious transient candidates were found during our low latency
analysis.
