We present BVRI light curves of SN 2011dh located in the nearby, nearly face-on spiral galaxy M51. The data were secured using the 0.9 m telescope at the West Mountain Observatory. The data span approximately 100 days with the first observations being before maximum light. The shapes of the light curves are well defined and the time of maximum light is well established. Standard Johnson-Cousins filters were utilized for all of the observations and several nights from this data set were standardized using selections of Landolt standards. SN 2011dh has been classified as Type IIb core-collapse supernova.
We would like to thank the Brigham Young University College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences for continued support of mentored student research at the West Mountain Observatory. Partial support for this project was derived from NSF grant AST #0618209.
