(KASI), on behalf of a larger collaboration

We observed the 90% credible region (~38 deg^2) of the localization map of
the NSBH merger candidate, S190814bv (LIGO/Virgo GCN 25324) with KMTNet,
Chile (CTIO) starting at 2019-08-15 05:39:26 UT. The images were taken in
R-band with 240 sec exposure time to the depth of R ~ 22 mag
(5-sigma detection). The central coordinate of each 2 deg x 2 deg pointing
is
given below. The search for transients is ongoing.
