We present the first detection of the isolated neutron star in the V Bessel filter to study the spectral energy distribution and derive a new astrometric position. At ESO Paranal we obtained very deep images with FORS 1 (three hours exposure time) of RXJ0720.4-3125 in V Bessel filter in January 2008. We derive the visual magnitude by standard star aperture photometry.Using sophisticated resampling software we correct the images for field distortions.
