report:

On January 27-28 we observed the field of GRB 070125
(Hurley et al., GCN 6024) with the 152 cm Cassini Telescope
located in Loiano, equipped with BFOSC under clear sky 
conditions (seeing approximately  2 arcsec).
The photometry is based on the SDSS stars and the 
trasformation derived from Lupton (2005).

For the optical afterglow detected by Cenko and
Fox (GCN 6028) we find the following magnitudes:

..Mean..UT .......Filter........Exptime (s).......magnitude
Jan...27.950........Rc............1200............20.23 +/-0.10
Jan...27.966........Rc............1200............20.26 +/-0.11
Jan...27.983........Rc............1200............20.21 +/-0.11
Jan...28.087........Rc............1200............20.25 +/-0.11
Jan...28.102........Rc............1200............20.35 +/-0.12
