report: 

We imaged the field of GRB 230723B detected by SWIFT(trigger 1180410)
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 518 min after the GRB trigger, at the end of twilight, 
with our Newton telescope D=250 mm F/D=4.8.

Weather conditions were medium.

We co-added 70 exposures of 120 sec each.
