[Aavso-photometry] Problem with VSP and photometry data

[Dave Lane]

Pierre,

This works for me. Arne communicated a bug in the chart plotter a couple 
of times in the last few weeks that you may have missed and might be 
pertinent to your problem. That is:

The chart plotter program looks at the name first (ignores the 
position), converts the name to RA/Dec and plots the the chart. The 
program that generates the photometry table looks for the position first 
(and ignores the name), so if a position is there (perhaps saved by a 
cookie from a previous use) that has no photometry, you will get this 
error. The solution is to blank out the RA/Dec before asking for the 
photometry table.
