I use VSX most days and although it does most things I need there are one or two things that would make my life easier. Searching in a zone of declination or...
As your VSX variables have passed moderation and been included into VSX they should therefore have sufficient data and be suitable enough for you to submit...
There has been a lot of discussion about how to disseminate the results placed in VSX, and this seemed to me to be seen as important to the viability of VSX. ...
Is there an unpublished version of Brian Skiff's MKTypes.dat file floating around? I was looking at a couple of stars I put in, and "Admin, VSX" amended them...
I am not clear as to what type of material should be included as a "supporting document" to a VSX entry. Can somebody please point me in the direction of an...
It looks to me as if there are 1500-1600 variable stars in the International Variable Star Index that have the prefix VSX. Back in May colleagues were working...
If I take either the name of a variable star such as VSX J000819.3+464455 or its co-ordinates 00 08 19.32 +46 44 55.2 and paste them into the variable star...

I mentioned this to the principal architect a few months ago. It is a request that may be of help only to me. I am doing a drift-scan survey with a small...
There might be an issue with the new variable submission facility. It is not clear that a submission made today worked - error message in Internet Explorer....
So where are amateurs publishing their material? Certainly not in OEJV – only 10 articles in 2007 and in general material that appears is overwhelmingly from...

It looks to me as if there are 1500-1600 variable stars in the International Variable Star Index that have the prefix VSX. Does the AAVSO have any plans to...
I'm wondering about how to submit what I guess amounts to data corrections to VSX. Reading through the guidelines, they seem to focus on submission of a new...
