We report optical follow-up observations of the recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a (ATels #12177, #12179, #12181, #12182, #12189, #12190, #12195, #12200), with the 0.7m robotic GROWTH-India telescope at the Indian Astronomical Observatory.
The magnitudes were calibrated using the local standards in Darnley et al. 2016.
Date Filter Magnitude
2018 Nov 08.76 g 19.60 ± 0.10
2018 Nov 08.77 r 19.15 ± 0.09
2018 Nov 08.74 i 19.28 ± 0.15
2018 Nov 10.78 g 21.08 ± 0.19
2018 Nov 10.80 r 20.82 ± 0.20
2018 Nov 10.81 i 20.27 ± 0.22
The magnitudes are consistent with those reported in ATel #12200. The fading rates in the optical bands seem to be comparable to the 2016 eruption.
