report: 

We imaged the field of GRB 230427A detected by SWIFT(trigger 1165948)
with the robotic telescope of (IAU station 565) Bassano Bresciano 
Observatory, Italy. Member of: 
AAVSO - American Association of Variable Star Observers.
UAI/SSV - Unione Astrofili Italiani/sezione stelle variabili.
GAC - Gruppo Astrofili Cremonesi.

The observations started 8.72 hour after the GRB trigger, at the end of twilight, 
with our Newton telescope D=250 mm F/D=4.8.

Weather conditions were good.

We co-added 2 series of 25 exposures of 60 sec each.

Start T0+      End T0+      Rlim
8.72 hour     9.63 hour     19.5

We did not found any optical counterpart in the error box of the XRTcandidate.
