Abstract:
    We present optical data obtained with the 1.05 m telescope of the
    Torino Astronomical Observatory for five X-ray selected BL Lacertae
    objects. The data are in the Johnson's B, V, and Cousins' R bands. As
    the observing periods include the pointings of the Satellite per
    Astronomia X ``Beppo'' (BeppoSAX), our optical information will be
    comparable with the X-ray observations for a better understanding of
    the properties of these objects. The present data also provide optical
    information on sources that have been rarely observed in the optical
    band. Variability on short time scales (a few days) was found only for
    1ES 1959+650.
