Photometric observations of the main-belt asteroid 107 Camilla carried out at the Astronomical and Geophysical Observatory Modra, Slovakia using the method of differential photometry are presented. Observations were made from September to November 1998 in the Johnson R-band. A CCD camera SBIG ST-8 located at the primary focus of a 0.6-m f/5.5 mirror telescope and our own photometric software were used. The Guide Star Catalogue was used as a source of reference stars. The composite lightcurve of 107 Camilla covering 4 nights through an interval of 252.5 periods was constructed. A synodic period of 4.8439 hours was found. The values of the amplitudes changed (depending on phase) from 0.35 to 0.42 magnitude. The photometric curve is almost symmetrical. Two maxima and minima, characteristic for an asteroid of a triaxial ellipsoidal shape, are clearly seen. We find good agreement of the results presented with observations from other authors obtained under similar geometrical conditions characterized by the value of the phase angle bisector vector.
