[Aavso-photometry] 50 mm Camera Lens Photometry

[Jeff Hopkins]

50 mm Camera Lens Photometry

Progress has been made using a 50 mm camera lens at f/4.0 with a DSI 
Pro CCD camera (with a Mogg adapter) for successfully imaging epsilon 
and lambda Aurigae  (in the same image) in the BVRI bands. Initial 
data spread (SD) of 3 sets of observations in each band indicated 
0.01 magnitude should be achievable. Further experimentation is 
planned as soon as the sky clears. The details of this project will 
be published on the web.

The Epsilon Aurigae 2009 Campaign Newsletter #3 is ready and has been 
sent to those who have expressed an interest in the Campaign. If 
anyone else would like a copy, just let me know. It will also be 
posted shortly on the Campaign web sit along with Newsletters #1 and 
#2 that are already there.

For those interested in single channel photon counting, I have 
received request for some of the key printed wiring boards. Anyone 
interested, please contact me.
