It's Spring and M67 is an easy target in the evening. Well, it will be once the moon gets out of the way! You can find a finder chart using the standard fields tool. Taking careful shots of a standard field becomes the basis for creating transform coefficients with Gordon's TG (Transform Generator) tool. From there you can study up on applying your coefficients to your webobs submissions using TA (Transform Applier) ,

All the details of learning how to do transformations is available here .

Take your observations that extra step! This applies to you DSLR types too!

Thanks for the info

Hi George!

Thanks for sharing this information. I'll have a look. This is what I was looking for!

Clear nights!

Time to renew your Transform Coefficients!

With the arrival of March the standard field M67 becomes a convenient evening target. And that means its time to take some shots and update your transform coefficients! The process involves first processing your images with the TG application . The application to apply these coefficients to your observations is now built into VPhot.

Cheers,
George
