report on behalf of the FRAM, TAROT and GRANDMA collaborations.
We performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo S191216ap event
(#GCN 26454) with the FRAM-Auger, FRAM-CTA-N, TAROT-Calern (TCA),
TAROT-Chili (TCH) telescopes.
FRAM-Auger is located at Pierre Auger Observatory. FRAM-CTA-N is
located at Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos. TCA is located at
Calern site at the Cote d'Azur observatory. TCH is located at La Silla
ESO observatory (LaS/ESO).

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.
These observations cover about 35.4% of the cumulative probability of
the LALInference skymap created on 2019-12-19 17:30:31 (UTC).
The coverage map is available at:

No significant transient candidates were found during our low latency
analysis [2,3].
GRANDMA (Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger
Addicts) is a network of robotic telescopes connected all over the
world with both photometry and spectrometry capabilities for Time-
domain Astronomy [2](https://grandma.lal.in2p3.fr/).
Details on the different telescopes are available on the GRANDMA web
pages.
