We report photometry of Type Ia SN 2023mkt gathered with the OAUNI 51cm telescope at Huancayo Observatory, Peru. CCD imaging in R filter was performed on two consecutive nights under non-photometric conditions with an airmass lower than 1.7. The integration time was 90x20s=1800s in both nights. Our measurements are indicated below:

Date (UT) filter seeing (") mag
2023-08-18.082 R 2.1 16.02 +/- 0.01
2023-08-19.079 R 2.4 16.05 +/- 0.01

UCAC4 field stars were used for the zero point calibration. Our observations are ~6 weeks after SN 2023mkt discovery date. The OAUNI project is supported by UNI, TWAS, IGP and ProCiencia-Concytec (Convenio 133-2020 Fondecyt).
