Abstract: We present the results of our research of the eclipsing asynchronous polar V1432 Aql. Photometric observations were obtained during 21 nights in 2017-2018 using the 38-cm telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. We obtained 22 moments of dips associated with the orbital variability of the binary system and 40 minima associated with self-eclipses of accretion columns in the binary system. We found out that accretion in the system occurs at least on three accreting areas. According to our observations, the spin period of the white dwarf is 0.1405429(102) days in 2017 and 0.1404547(29) days in 2018. The improved orbital period is 0.140234676(15) days.
