Hi Paul,

Thanks. Photometry sounds and looks daunting at first but it really is quite simple. Accuracy is really all about consistency - nothing more. Consistency comes with experience so the idea is start with 'easy' targets then when you are comfortable with those push until you find your systems limits.

The paper is currently with the Principal Investigating Scientist of the Binary survey for review. I know he has issues with it (due to it's 'simplicity' and the fact it may well not work with binaries where the moons are on a primarily eccentric orbit as opposed to circular orbits). I'll release/publish it publicly around the same time as NACAA.

Cheers
