A Method for Differential CCD or DSLR Photometry Requiring No Determination of Air Mass or Extinction Coefficients
Presenter(s): Roy Axelsen Affiliation(s): Astronomical Association of Queensland Session details: Saturday, 2012-04-07 06:00:00, TBA Abstract Where comparison stars and the variable star differ in colour index, and particularly when observations are made at high air mass, accurate classical differential photometry requires the determination of air mass and extinction coefficients. This paper describes a method in…
