SUMMARY:CHOICE Course - Photometry Using VPhot - Registration Opens
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed to teach observers how to conduct photometry using VPhot\, the AAVSO’s cloud-based photometry reduction software. The main objective is to understand “best photometric practices” by independently conducting exercises which utilize VPhot as the photometry tool. You will learn (1) how to upload and manage your image files\, (2) how to create suitable sequences\, (3) how to perform differential aperture photometry on single images and time series\, (4) how to generate transformation coefficients using TG\, (5) how to transform your magnitudes to the standard system\, (6) how to save your analyses\, and (7) how to submit your results to the AAVSO. You do not have to own a CCD or have your own images since sample images will be provided. \nYou should complete rigorous daily exercises\, and must complete weekly quizzes as well as a final examination to pass the course. \nThis course is only available to AAVSO members. If you would like to join the AAVSO click here. \nRegistration for this course is open from August 4 to September 27. The course begins on September 28.
