  We have realised a simple prototype system to perform searches for short
timescale optical transients, utilising the novel drift scan imaging technique
described by Tingay (2020). We used two coordinated and aligned cameras, with
an overlap field-of-view of approximately 3.7 sq. deg., to capture over 34000 X
5 second images during approximately 24 hours of observing. The system is
sensitive to optical transients, due to an effective exposure time per pixel of
21 ms, brighter than a V magnitude of 6.6. In our 89.7 sq. deg. hr of
observations we find no candidate astronomical transients, giving an upper
limit to the rate of these transients of 0.8 per square degree per day,
competitive with other experiments of this type. The system is triggered by
reflections from satellites and various instrumental effects, which are easily
identifiable due to the two camera system. The next step in the development of
this promising technique is to move to a system with larger apertures and wider
fields of view.
