Request Comparison Stars for Variable Star Charts
[Note: If your variable star has an existing sequence, even if it is only one comparison star, please request assistance via CHET. This page is only for variables that have NO comparison stars. Thank you.]
Charts and Sequences Update January 2015
With APASS data release 8 filling in most of the remaining areas of sky with reliable secondary standards, the sequence team has been busy filling the remaining standing requests. This latest batch of new and revised sequences also has many newly discovered CVs from ASASSN, as well as sequences for RCB, NR and ZAND objects in the AID and VSX. You can downoad the list as either an .xlsx or .csv file.
VSP Help Guides
The VSP help guides are in the process of being updated and will be reposted as soon as the edits are completed. In the meanwhile if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the AAVSO Forums or contact us. Clear Skies!
Charts and Sequences Updates September 2012
The latest release of APASS has allowed us to create new sequences and improve older sequences for hundreds of stars.
If you would like to request a new comparison star sequence for a star that currently does not have one please see the instructions for doing so located here.
If you find an error or have issues with an existing sequence, please submit those to CHET.
Minor VSP upgrades
Hi, all. Today we rolled out some relatively minor upgrades to VSP. There is nothing groundbreaking here. It's mostly minor tweaks and bug fixes. But I'm outlining them here for your information:
Additions
- There is a new "reset all" button that will reset all fields in the user interface to their default values.
- The variable star designator (cross hairs at the center of the chart) now appears on all charts, regardless of the limiting magnitude.
Accessing the Variable Star Plotter Via the Get Method
IMPORTANT: The interface described on this page is deprecated, and will be shut down in the near future. It is replaced by the new VSP API. If you have a program that is using this interface, please update your program to use the new API immediately.
Charts and Sequences Update April 2011
April 1, 2011
The following variable stars have either new or revised sequences and charts. If you observe any of these stars you should update your charts to the most recent version.
Thank you,
The AAVSO Charts and Sequences Team
