[BAA Comets] Project Alcock

[denis buczynski]

Hello Roger/all,
I am pleased to hear that you will be covering the topic of ccd photometry and reporting the results 
of your investigations to this group. I know that Nick James has also been working on the use of 
FoCas with his own ccd cometary images and will no doubt be making a comment about his findings 
after he returns from Australia. I remember Richard Miles also mentioned that the use of Kphot 
looked an interesting avenue for us to travel down to reduce our ccd measurements. I received an 
interesting email from Erik Bryssinck in Belgium about cometary ccd photometry, he uses both the 
FoCas method for faint comets and the CARA method for active and brighter comets. I know that Roger 
has also had correspondence about these matters with Erik  who is a CARA mentor and has offered help 
and advice. So I am pleased to see this subject back as a discussion on this list and hope that good 
progress can be made.

Please note that this website is now located at

My plan is to write tutorials covering the topics mentioned in the presentation. Next
topic is CCD astrometry and photometry. By processing images using Astrometrica,
FoCAs and Kphot we might be able to generate both CCD (m2)and visually equivalent
(m1) magnitudes. Watch this space.
