Light Curve Generator and transformed observations

Hi,

The Guide to CCD/CMOS Photometry talks suggests comparing data to that of other observers as a form of self assessment.  It encourages the use of the Light Curve Generator to access the comparison data.  I'm working from transformed observations of my own and I don't see a way to filter the LCG to return only transformed observations.  I can click onto individual observations to see if individual data points have been transformed, typically they are not.  

Is there a way with the LCG to query the database to return only observations that have been transformed to the standard system?  If not, is there another tool that does this?

Thanks,

Mike Wiles

VSTAR can filter just yours

But VSTAR also could be made better with a transform filter.

Workaround

About the only thing you can do is retrieve the data with the Download tool and filter the nontransformed records out of the resulting file.  Then use "load new star from file" in VStar.

transformed filter

Just figured it out I think?

In VSTAR

Type    transformed    in the Vela filter box.

That does appear to work

Had no idea that such filtering was available.
