I'm very new to this, and want to start with this. I just wonder, after taking all these frames what software do you guys use to generate the lightcurve? I...
Hi Freddy, Some of us use AIP4WIN and others some version of Maxim and yet others some other software. The advantage of the former is that the BAA VSS has...
Are there software tutorials how to process your frames to create alight graph ? I have CMunWin and Maxim DL and AstroArt but I cannotfigure out how to load...
I'm just testing out my DFK camera in long exposures and that works great, There is even a sequence timer. I will use that one and the Canon on the other scope...
Hi Freddy, Go to... http://www.britastro.org/vss/ and it's the orange button at the bottom of the page which says "CCD Spreadsheet". You can either view it...
I wonder if somebody tried Variables photometry using a DSLR ? It really facinates me and just wantto know what the camera settings are, like exposure times...
Thanks Gary. ....I realise I got two of the digits the wrong way round in the name. Should be HS1340+1524 (at RA 13 43 23.4 Dec +15 09 16) - sorry, my fault. ...
Hi Gary & Jeremy, ... my feeling with HS1340+1542 is that it could be a weakly magnetic CV, similar to HT Cam. The line profiles show some odd asymmetry, and...
I got about 100 minutes of time series on HS1349+1542 after catching two eclipses of IY UMa. Preliminary inspection doesn't reveal much. Mike Simonsen ... -- ...

Hi Jeremy, ... this one seems similar to HS1340+1524: possibly weakly magnetic, somewhat asymmetric emission lines, but no coherent periodicity detected so...
Ok thanks Boris - let's see what happens. I tried to follow up with time resolved photometry last night, but was soon clouded out. Go well! Jeremy To:...
SDSS J090103.93+480911.1 May 16.052 15.6C Outburst detected in a single Bradford Robotic Telescope image - image trailed, so magnitude is approximate....
Hi Jeremy, ... this is an eclipsing system, so in the case of a superoutburst, it would be great to get a good superhump period, which can later help...
Richard Sabo has reported time series photometry on this star from last night which shows 1 mag+ eclipses superimposed on what looks like superhumps. So it...

This is the time of year that everyone seems to give up monitoring SS Aur. This is unfortunate because it often goes into outburst in either June or July each...
