TG V. 5.7 Maintenance Release is available at www.aavso.org/tg

The release corrects a problem with the deletion of previously saved transform sets.

It is also compatible with the new Mac OS X v. 10.10.2 Yosemite release.  Yosemite no longer comes with an X11 emulator that was provided in earlier Mac OS releases.  Instructions for installing the X11 emulator (which is straight forward) are provided.

Standard fields for TG

TG is prepared to handle data from  M67 and NGC7790.

Are the plans to add to this list of standard fields? Which and when?

I'm stuck right now with out transform coefficients (hard drive crash). M67 is set and I think NGC7790 is in the dawn twilight.

Thanks
George

TG - new standards fields

George,

I'm waiting to hear from the sequence team whether they plan to add the Landolt - and maybe other - fields to VSP with stars identified as "AAVSO Standard Stars".  VPHOT should identify these when one selects "Catalogs -- > Load AAVSO Standard Stars".  Once that's done these fields can be added to TG.

Is there someone on the sequence team to coordinate with?

Gordon
