Abstract

We present optical photometric monitoring of KT Eri (Nova Eridani 2009), a He/N very fast nova which oubursted in November 2009. Our observations include BVRcIc brightness estimations as well as monitoring of the rapid brightness variations in V band. The characteristic times of these rapid changes are studied and compared with the observed in other novae.
