We have obtained multiple Johnson/Bessell BVRI and clear (unfiltered) observations of SN 2023ixf in M101 using the 6-inch MicroObservatory robotic telescope 'Ben' located at the Whipple Observatory. Differential aperture photometry was performed using AstroArt 7.0 and comparison star 119 (AUID 000-BKD-528) on AAVSO finder chart sequence X28720DS and APAS reference values.
