ccd photometry

[Go to CHOICE course calendar]

At present there are two AAVSO CHOICE Photometry courses, one for monochrome CCD/CMOS cameras and one which describes how to use VPhot for photometry. These courses require daily commitments of time from each student to complete successfully. This includes time taking and processing images as well as participation in discussion questions on the forum. Students will be asked to share their results with the instructor and with other students.
