"BSM Berry4" & "ACP->Driver for telescope connected through TheSky"

Hello!

I  receive images of several targets from the AAVSOnet BSM Berry4 whose files sometimes come with the label "System: Driver for telescope connected through TheSky".

Do the two systems use the same gear so that I can keep referring in VPHOT to all these images as coming from the BSM Berry4 system when doing photometry and color-transforming my data? Or is "System: Driver for telescope connected through TheSky" a different gear?

Could anybody please clarify this issue?

Thanks.

I have had the same problem.  It also seems to be intermittent for me; sometimes I get the "ACP-> Driver ...etc." name in the images list and sometimes it says  "BSM_Berry4".    When I get the ACP-Driver name in the list,  that also appears as the TELESCOP in the header.

Ari,

Until this is fixed I have been using the "rename" tool in the Available Images page.  It seems to work fine for this problem.  I also get images from BSM_S4.  Thanks for mentioning that.  I'll be careful to get those right.
