report:
We imaged the field of GRB 230812B (Lesage et al., GCN 34387;
Scotton et al., GCN 34392; Page, GCN 34394; Zheng & Filippenko, GCN 34395;

Mao et al., GCN 34404; Odeh et al., GCN 34405; Moskvitin et al., GCN 34406)
detected by FERMI(trigger 713559497.049606 / 230812790)
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-GRB.
GAC - Gruppo Astrofili Cremonesi.
The observations started 24.57 hour after the FERMI 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 70 exposures of 60 sec each.
Start T0+ End T0+
24.57 hour 27.09 hour
We detected a (fading) afterglow in the error box of the XRTcandidate.
at the following position (+/- 2 arcsec):
RA (J2000.0) = 16h 36m 31.51s
DEC(J2000.0) = +47d 51p 32.2s
The results of our photometry are:
-----------------------------------
JD Mag Err Flt
-----------------------------------
2460170.36459 19.9 +/- 0.2 CR
2460170.38708 20.1 +/- 0.2 CR
CR is unfiltered with R zero point.
Magnitudes were estimated with the PanSTARRS cat. and
are not corrected for galactic dust extinction.
