[Aavso-photometry] RE: DSI Pro

[Fabrizio Lucidi]

Thank You all,
I think I'll be soon one of the new dsi owners.
Of course I will bring you up to date about any tricks
I will find in variable star ccd photometry.
In the meantime I'll stay up with the AAVSO photometry
list.
Thank you all again.
Fabrizio
