Attached are the BSM_Berry Transformation Coefficients generated in October 2018. Thay are attached as a .ini file that can be opened with a text editor. This .ini file, after deleting the _.txt extension, can be loaded directly into Transform Applier.

The coeffs, which follow, have been added to the VPhot telescope setup.

Transforms for BSM_Berry

Ken,

Today I started getting images for BSM_Berry again.  The images are very good, but when I use the VPhot transform tool I have to enter the B-V and V-I color and magnitude transforms "manually" for each measurement. 

I just noticed that the tranforms from your list above (the transforms I am entering for each measurement) are one year old.  Since I'm again getting BSM_Berry images, perhaps there are new transforms also.

Transforms for BSM_Berry

Never mind.  I just heard from Mike about the plan to make new BSM-Berry transforms.  I'll wait for the new transforms before I start measuring these new images.

Try Again

Phil:

You can wait BUT please open image list again and try to transform 2 images to see if coeffs populate windows NOW??

Ken

PS: I made a little revision to Telescop field in telescope setup.  ;-(

Tried again

Ken,

I just tried the VPhot transform tool with B and V, also V and I images.  The transform coefficients didn't appear the the boxes, and I got the usual error messages when I tried to proceed.

Me Also

FYI: I had the same problem with my BL Tel images as Phil. I will wait until this gets sorted.

BTW: I am still getting Dennis' R Sct data. I will keep it until I receive word that he is also getting it and then I will delete.

Historical TC's for BSM- Berry

Hi,

I am analysing images of V0777 Sgr recorded by BSM-Berry since early 2017. Greg Bolt informs me there have been several camera changes in that time:

"There have been no changes to filters since BSM Berry commenced operations in Perth in early 2015.

But there have been 3 different cameras used (all are ST8):

ST8#1 – 2015 to 2/Sept/2018 (camera failed)

ST8#2 – 23/Sept/2018 to 17/Jan/2019 (temporary replacement)

ST8#3 – 6/Apr/2019 to present (permanent replacement)"

Can someone let me know what the TC's were for eachof these configurations?

It would be very useful if a table of historical TC's could be made available for each of the AAVSOnet telescopes so people analysing old images can use the correct transformation coefficients.

Cheers,

Mark
