This is all getting very confusing, steep learning curve. Not really understanding what each piece of software does WRT generating light curves and what type of "photometry" this occultation stuff is exactly ... 
I think I'm going to have to spend a lot of time reading and tinkering with:
- Astrometrica
- MPO Canopus
- IRIS
- CCDSoft
... in order to work out what exactly it is that I need. Hmm. And not give up part way through  Then again, I guess the next one I try might just work easily and I can ignore the rest |
Hi Roger
I have MPO Canopus and am also trying to work out how to generate a lightcurve or 2.
Canopus is good, subject to:
1. Its full featured - which is good - but also confusing at first
2. for some reason, the latest version has decided not to plate solve on my lappy - still works well on a desktop.
I have AIP4Win - looks ok although I suspect it only generates a file of observations for export to Excel from which you generate your curve. I agree with Ponders - its a great text.
