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 have been attempting to enter my visual observations individually as usual, and enter the date as "2019/01/01/08/25" and I get the error msg "The year must be between 1913 and today." The data doesn't seem to be accepted, so I am stuck. I believe this exact same problem occured one year ago too! Thanks for resolving it.

Happy New Year!

When I woke up this morning I was able to enter data in my usual format "YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM". So, the problem appears to be a transient one, right around the time the year switches over at midnite! Same thing happened last year at the 2018 switchover.
