Hello,

I keep running into the warning 'Less than 2 stars active in Vphot file'.

I am using TG 6.8 and generated 3 Vphot AAVSO reports, on B V and I.

I selected the standard field stars of NGC7790 as targets stars and 2 AAVSO comps stars + 1 AAVSO check stars.

What am I missing?

 

kind regards,

Remco Kemperman

AAVSO files

FYI, This is how my B, V and I files come out of the Vphot photometry report.

with an ensemble of comp stars and 1 check star.

And I made sure that I had the comp stars checked as 'active'Image removed.

Image removed.

Remco:

Have you downloaded and read the TG Users Guide (Section 4.4.3)? Based on the fact that you created AAVSO reports from VPhot indicates that you are not doing this correctly.

Thanks

Thanks,

that worked. I had made a transform a year ago and I (wrongly) assumed that I still remembered how.  I will read the manual beforehand next time around.

kind regards Remco
