Comet 9P/Tempel 1 was constantly monitored during the 2005 apparition by observers participating in the CARA project (http://cara.uai.it). R and I (Cousins), as well as 647-650 nm narrowband filter photometric data were used to produce Afrho quantity measuremnts. Afrho value peaked about 300 cm approximately 83 days before perihelion, with a general behaviour that closely matches the one of previous apparitions. Around the time of the impact of the Deep Impact module a short temporary increase was detected, but Afrho values and the coma profile returned to a normal state within approximately 3 days. The dust cloud produced by the impact was clearly seen in the images obtained on July 4 and 5 as well as a temporary disturbance in the average photometric profile in the coma. No permanent long-time effects were detected in the average Afrho behaviour, which matches the trend observed in previous apparitions fairly well.
