We report additional multicolor photometry of the most recent outburst of the remarkable recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a (ATel #7964, #7965, #7967, #7968) acquired with the 0.65-m telescope at Ondrejov under photometric conditions. For the measurements, we used co-added images obtained from many single 90-s exposures to suppress the effect of high background caused by strong moonlight.
