Photometry - textbook anyone?

[pvelez]

I'm looking for a copy of Brian Warner's book - A Practical Guide to Lightcurve Photometry and Analysis

Happy to buy, rent or borrow.

I am working on a project for Uni - due in a couple of weeks and it looks like the best (ie cheapest) way to buy it is from the UK or US - which will take 2 weeks to get here.

Thanks Carl

I am troubled by the 4 - 8 days reference hence the request to members first. If I have no joy, I will go down that path

Hi Peter. Does it have to be that particular text? Would another, Astronomical Photometry by Henden and Kaitchuck or Introduction to Astornomoical Photometry by Budding and Demircan be suitable?

They might be Paul. At the moment I am wrestling with MPO Canopus and I thought that there would be a fair degree of overlap as Brian Warner wrote and supports that program.

I have AIP4Win and the associated text so I have the general idea of photometry. I've also read (and part digested) relevant sections of the manuals for MPO Canopus. I guess I'm looking for some basic insights to ensure I'm not heading off at a tangent.

I have a copy of both and if they are of any use to you, you are welcome to borrow them for your studies. I also have a copy of Observational Astronomy (Cambridge Press) and there are a number of good chapters in there on photometry.

Fishpond are usually very prompt in getting your book to you...anywhere from 6-10 days is pretty usual.

Nice bit of software:)
