Götz (CEA), Cyril Lachaud (APC) on behalf of the SVOM Gravitational Astronomy group report: We observed about 3200 square degree (8 sky regions) of the skymap of the advanced LIGO and Virgo trigger G211117, with Mini-GWAC(Mini Ground Wide Angle Camera), at Xinglong Observatory of NAOC equipped with U9000 camera(FOV~400 square degree/camera). Mini-GWAC comprises of 12 wide field angle cameras(aperture=7cm), working with unfiltered band. The observations are operated in time-series mode, taking one exposure in 15 seconds (10s exposure + 5s readout). The limit magnitude is ~12 mag in R band. The coordinates of the 8 regions and observation time are list following: #- RA(J2000) Dec(J2000) start-obs (UTC) end-obs (UTC) 04:00:36.007 +50:05:10.042 2015-12-26 15:40:33. 2015-12-26 18:29:37. 06:39:58.264 +50:51:18.330 2015-12-26 15:40:27. 2015-12-26 20:04:36. 11:59:40.897 +69:49:54.653 2015-12-26 15:55:37. 2015-12-26 18:44:40. 12:00:34.275 +29:36:35.499 2015-12-26 17:20:33. 2015-12-26 22:39:34. 13:28:29.736 +10:21:33.849 2015-12-26 18:45:34. 2015-12-26 22:39:25. 14:40:48.753 +50:06:02.281 2015-12-26 18:31:44. 2015-12-26 21:34:50. 14:52:33.057 +10:50:27.095 2015-12-26 20:06:55. 2015-12-26 22:39:31 16:15:01.695 +29:45:14.593 2015-12-26 21:37:03. 2015-12-26 22:39:30. Mini-GWAC is working in sky survey mode. The same sky regions were observed at Dec. 27 and 28. The image analysis is ongoing. Further observations of these fields are planned.
