We report early follow-up photometry of ZTF20aaelulu (AT2020oi) discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF; ATel #11266) and announced to TNS by the ALeRCE broker (TNS report 51926, Forster et al. 2020). As part of our ALeRCE-based trigger program to obtain prompt follow-up observations of potential young supernovae, we acquire images of ZTF20aaelulu with the PROMPT3 0.6m telescope located at CTIO on UT 2020 Jan. 08.36 (MJD=58856.358) in the g and r filters, yielding PSF-fit AB magnitudes of g=16.1 and r=16.3.
