We present our first results of a photometric monitoring project of the twin quasar 0957+561. This project aims mainly at the improvement of the determination of the time delay ΔT(A,B) for this gravitational lens, since the “time delay controversy on QSO 0957+561 (is) not yet decided” (Pelt et al. 1994). In addition, the quite large field of the CCD used allows also a long-term astrometric and photometric study of stars and galaxies in the field within a radius of about 10 arcminutes around the lens.
