A. Klotz (IRAP France) used the robotic TAROT telescope at la Silla, Chile. Refined photometry has been performed using an archive image without the supernova as a substractive mask. Images are R filtered. The star NOMAD-1 0497-0870484 R=15.76 is choosen as the photometric calibrator. 2012 Jun. 08.37 mag>18.1R. 2012 Jul. 25.45 mag=18.1R. 2012 Aug. 01.42 mag=16.1R. 2012 Aug. 10.38 mag=15.5R. Using NED data for extinction and luminosity distance, we deduce an absolute R magnitude -18.8 at the date 2012 Aug. 10.38. The brightness continues to increase.
