Steps performed to try to edit telescope setup:

Log into AAVSO

Select Data | Data Analysis | VPHOT (log into VPHOT)| Admin | Telescope Setup.

I am presented with the opportunity to create a new telescope but, my previously entered telescope is not available for edit.  The telescope name is there and I can select it for review but it is read-only.  It shows up grayed out (as with the public telescopes) in the list.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thanks!

Scope Error

Bob:

The most logical conclusion is that you inadvertently clicked the common scope checkbox.

We will look in the database and uncheck it.
