To trigger it you need to call Reduce -> Photometry. Then next thing to do is actual photometry. After pressing OK button files will be converted to Muniwin format. These options are copied from the profile you selected when new project was created. Then project settings window will be opened, and you can adjust options for this particular step. In this and all next steps you can always press More options… button. Next step is Reduce -> Fetch/convert files. This and following steps you need to do each time you add more frames to the project. We need to process new frames using command Reduce -> Process new frames. You can add more frames to the project in any moment later. We will not calibrate frames in Muniwin, so make sure the files you add has been already calibrated. Once you have project you can add files to the project using Frames -> Add individual frames menu command. In Project menu select New, enter project name (like your object name), select profile and you can also change default project files location. Don’t forget to save your profile after editing. Once you know them, you can enter them here as well. All other values you can adjust during work with actual project. You can also add your data in Observer section. In Source frames you may narrow Max.pixel value down to the value you know your camera is still linear. Then you need to adjust Camera settings to the values of your camera. Then select Light curve profile and save under new name. At the beginning lets take a look into Muniwin and create our hardware profile. Actually you can also calibrate frames in Muniwin, but if you already know and use other program for processing, you do not need to change it. Frames may come from one session night, but it also can be a long term program that spans over weeks or years.

astroimaging setup with camera that you know how to use.AAVSO guide does not contain any C-Munipack related information, but describes how CCD photometry works in general.Īt this moment I assume you already have: Before you start playing with photometry I would like to encourage you to read AAVSO CCD photometry guide.

In this entry I will try to describe how to create lightcurve of single object using C-Munipack free software pack available here. We can perform all these photometry activities with Muniwin software. In this latter case basing on asteroid lightcurve both rotational period and shape can be determined. Variable stars are perfect example of dynamics in the Universe, and the timescale of this changes may be years, days but also minutes! But these are not only stars that varies – we can also measure exoplanet transits or asteroids. Measuring variability of celestial objects brightness is one of the most rewarding task, that can be picked up by astronomy amateur.
