In a three nights of observations we did not detect any optical flares from the source, which allows us to place an upper limit of 10 mJy for a brightness of possible fast optical events on a time scale of 10 ms. We also characterize the apparent brightness stability of a field stars on the same time scale in order to investigate the potential of such telescopes for detecting faint optical variability on a sub-second time scales Workplace Institute of Physics Contact Kristina Potocká, potocka@fzu.cz, Tel.: 220 318 579 Year of Publishing 2020 Electronic address https://doi.org/10.1002/asna.201913664
