PEPObs was developed from legacy code used to reduce photoelectric photometry submitted to the AAVSO PEP program. We have retained most of the original fields for backwards compatibility with old PEP reports. What follows is a guide to fields in the online form with formatting instructions. In the examples, the quotes ("") should not be included.
Once again, photoelectric photometry was well represented at the AAVSO Fall Meeting, held this year in Chicopee and South Hadley MA, with Tom Dennis and Ron Zissell as hosts.
The link below contains the list of current stars in the PEP database. V band observations of these stars may be reduced via the PEPObs web tool. This list is also used by the BVI reduction spreadsheet.

The format of the lines is as follows:
