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.
