[Aavso-photometry] New to photometry

Hello Lakovos
 
I would suggest reading the AAVSO CCD Manual on the web site at 
_www.aavso.org_ (http://www.aavso.org)  for a start.  I am traveling  and so must be 
brief.  Once you have read that and have questions, (its  about 25 pages or 
so), I am sure that you can get help from this discussion  group.

Hello all 



My name is Iakovos & I live in Athens  Greece.... I am 25 years old & I 
just got a CCD (Atic IC model mono.) with  the Schuler V filter for 
photometry... I have a small Eq. 3-2 go-to mount (not  the best thing to have) and some 
telephoto lens (58mm-135mm & 200mm) of my  old Zenit film camera. I want to 
start doing some photometry on bright &  fast stars (with a period of 4 to 
10 hours & mag. 5 to 8) so when I get a  better mount with a small refractor 
to do some more difficult objects (but I  will have some experience).... 



I would like to ask how is the  procedure of taking images and have not 
scattered data on the photometry plots  (I did some first experiments on the 
i-Boo {44 Boo} and I can recognize a  curve but the data I have are not so 
good)... My camera is not linear &  also has an Anti-Blooming system ... Also 
the temperature of the ccd is -20  celsius from the enviroment...



In the next few hours I will  post a graph of the 44 Boo in my web page 
(done with the MaxIm DL) so to see  what I mean for the scatter of my data...



I will be glad if you  could really help me with my first photometry 
steps...

Clear Sky to all
