Hello, 

I have started learning about differential photometry and I plan to use Itelescope as I am unable to set up an observation site.

I'd like some advice about which variable stars observe to gather data to use in my learning process.

Are there observing plan for newbie published somewhere?

Thanks

I have just started and the individual observing sections are a great place for ideas for a programme.

Find them here:

Target stars in great need of observation are on Target Tool. I use this to prioritise my session. Find it here:
