Hello all,

Quick question regarding the AAVSO extended format:

I've been doing observations with an ZWO ASI183MM-Pro with a Red filter.

On field OBSTYPE what should I be putting?

Thanks!

Definitely...

(Note that the same camera is used in AAVSOs BSM_NH2 telescope and it's data is reported as CCD, so let's try to stay out of the CCD vs CMOS rabbit hole, at least for this thread :-) )
