We present the initial results of the optical photometric follow-up of the nearby Type II Supernova SN 2023ixf in M101 from the Astronomical Institute of University of Bern (AIUB) Zimmerwald Observatory (MPC code 026). Observations were carried out during the nights of May 29th and 30th UT with the 0.8m ZimMAIN Ritchey-Chrétien Telescope, equipped with Spectral Instruments SI1100 CCD camera. The full camera response was utilized and the photometry was calibrated to the GAIA G magnitudes utilizing three nearby stars present in the GAIA DR3 catalogue. The following magnitudes were measured:
May 29 2023 JD2460094.586594 G=11.13 +/- 0.03
May 30 2023 JD2460095.587600 G=11.13 +/- 0.03
Further follow-up of SN 2023ixf is planned from Zimmerwald.
