[Aavso-photometry] Reality Check - Basic Concepts (Light Curve Values)

[David Trowbridge]

In the WebObs application, there's a radio button for indicating whether the
data being submitted have been transformed or not. So what are we looking at
in the light curve: transformed data or untransformed? Are both types of
observations appearing as green diamonds?
