report: 

We re-observed the field of GRB 230812B (Lesage et al., GCN 34387;
Scotton et al., GCN 34392; Page, GCN 34394; Zheng & Filippenko, GCN

Pyshna et al., GCN 34425) with our 0.25-m Newton robotic telescope.

We coadded 155 x 60 sec. unfiltered images on August 14 2023, 
from 19:46:11 to 22:32:27 UT

We confirm a fading afterglow at the following coordinates +/- 0.2 arcsec:

RA (J2000.0) =  16h 36m 31.51s
DEC(J2000.0) = +47d 51p 32.2s

The results of OT photometry are:

-----------------------------------
      JD         mag      Err   Flt   
-----------------------------------
2460171.43558   20.5  +/- 0.3   CR    
    

CR is unfiltered with Rc zero point.

Magnitudes were estimated with the Pan-STARRS cat. 
and are converted using Lupton (2005) equations.

Not corrected for galactic dust extinction.
