Photometry
Just to start a new thread based on Bernard's comments on UBVRI filters etc.
I found "Astronomical Photometry" by Henden and Kaitchuck to be very usefull, although it shows it's age ( published in 1982) it's a wealth of knowledge on the subject! Just replace the references to the standard IP21 photmultiplier with current CCD technology.
The other, that was recommended to me was "The Photoelectric Photometry Handbook" by Genet, Genet and Genet ( yes the whole family was involved!) published in 1987. I found this totally useless for me! Didn't address any of the problems and issues I was concerned with.
Henden&Kaitchuck is probably all you need.
