Announcement: New Applications

We are excited to announce the launch of our new applications! We're opening up early access to our new applications for searching, downloading, and submitting photometric observations. You can now access these applications through these links:

• Global Data Search (new) – Search across all of AAVSO’s databases

• Search and Download Photometric Observations – Search and export results in CSV, JSON, or XLSX

• Submit Photometric Observations – Review your observations on a light curve with historical data

We ask for your feedback in order to help us improve these applications. Please send feedback for the applications above to feedback@aavso.org. Note: please avoid duplicating submissions across the two submit applications.

I think a simple enhancement that will really help avoid errors in the individual observations time entry would be for the field to either automatically insert the current date/time by default, or state above/below the field "the current date/time is: ..." . For the initial observation, that is. Subsequent entries, it should copy the last entered date/time as the default.

I have had several instances (luckily caught before submitting) when I had a wrong date/time either due to a typo, or year change or other such easy slip-up.

Hopefully this can be implemented very easily. Thanks!
