Hello,

I keep running into the warning 'Less than 2 stars active in Vphot file'.

I am using TG 6.8 and generated 3 Vphot AAVSO reports, on B V and I.

I selected the standard field stars of NGC7790 as targets stars and 2 AAVSO comps stars + 1 AAVSO check stars.

What am I missing?

 

kind regards,

Remco Kemperman

AAVSO files

FYI, This is how my B, V and I files come out of the Vphot photometry report.

with an ensemble of comp stars and 1 check star.

And I made sure that I had the comp stars checked as 'active'Image removed.

Image removed.

Remco:

Have you downloaded and read the TG Users Guide (Section 4.4.3)? Based on the fact that you created AAVSO reports from VPhot indicates that you are not doing this correctly.
