  In this paper results from the optical photometric observations of the
pre-main-sequence star V1180 Cas are reported. The star is a young variable
associated with the dark cloud Lynds 1340, located at a distance of 600 pc from
the Sun in the star forming region in Cassiopeia. V1180 Cas shows a large
amplitude variability interpreted as a combination of accretion-induced and
extinction-driven effects. Our data from VRI CCD photometric observations of
the star are collected from September 2011 to February 2022. During our
monitoring, we recorded several brightness dips with large amplitudes of up to
5 mag. (I-band). At the same time, increases in brightness over periods of
several weeks have also been recorded. In this paper, we compare the
photometric data obtained for V1180 Cas with observations of other low-mass
pre-main sequence objects.
