We report optical photometric follow-up of the nearby Type II Supernova SN 2023ixf in M101 from the MIT Wallace Astrophysical Observatory. Observations were carried out with the FLI ProLine 16803 CCD camera on a 0.6m Corrected Dall-Kirkham telescope between May 23 and May 25, 2023 UTC. We obtain the following optical magnitudes in the SDSS filters at UT times.
May 23.118, g' = 11.32 +/- 0.01, r' = 11.48 +/- 0.01, i' = 11.68 +/- 0.01, z' = 12.58 +/- 0.03
May 24.109, g' = 11.24 +/- 0.03, r' = 11.39 +/- 0.01, i' = 11.58 +/- 0.01, z' = 12.43 +/- 0.06
May 25.110, g' = 11.31 +/- 0.01, r' = 11.37 +/- 0.01, i' = 11.52 +/- 0.02, z' = 12.35 +/- 0.01
Further follow-up is planned. We thank the staff at the Wallace observatory for supporting these observations.
