Hi Uwe,

Could you please let me have a copy of your Kphot software. I have been using
Astrometrica/Focas for some time so am familiar with the Spanish method of measuring
comet magnitudes and Af(rho).

Regards

	Dear observers, 

	I wrote a computer programm whcih calculates the total magnitude
from multiaperture CCD measurements. At the web pages of the German
comets' group I publish such values, together with Af(rho) values:

	If somebody is interested in this software please drop me a line.I
wrote a publication about the mathematic model. Unfortunaltely it is
only available in German. If there is some interest in this method I
would perform at least a rought translation into English. The German
