This poster briefly outlines the research being undertaken at The Open University in the search for electromagnetic (EM) counterparts to gravitational wave candidates detected by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC). This includes the setup of the PIRATE facility, which is a robotic telescope located in Tenerife, Spain, and is used as both a research and teaching telescope. Additionally the poster describes the methods used to perform rapid follow-up to gravitational wave alerts from LIGO/Virgo, and how the images are processed to look for fading transients. Lastly there is a short summary of results from the last observing campaign, corresponding to the second LIGO observing run (O2)
