Version 9.12c is in downloads now. Minimal configuration with only essential files in folder.
Still needs to be configured for your system.
All the best

Very core of our nearest Galaxy – Andromeda at 2.5 Million Light years. Right overhead at this time of year, so anyone with a mount and a camera with telephoto and FOV of about 2.5degrees, now is the time to image this spectacular sight.
 Light Curve
This data taken 12 November 2017 -(Data points on BAA Site) But interesting shape of curve. You can see the secondary eclipse of the dimmer and smaller star.
Veil nebula is a cloud of dust and ionised gas (Sulphur Oxygen and Hydrogen) in the constellation of Cygnus. It contains a radio source and is about 1470 light years away.  Veil Nebula UX UMA new data using new camera and new software AA6 SP3.
The zero point is Mag 14 the time is 2017-08-27T 23:16:19.5′ / LT for start of image exposure 80sec. The orange is the check star. The measurement is done against 3 reference stars from AAVSO. V Filter (Green) and the setup was Camera Trius H694 and 8inch RC Astrograph from Altair Astro. This is quite a fast orbital period at 0.19 days.

It is possible to specify, for their light curves, the moments of the beginning and end of the eclipses. Between eclipses the light remains almost constant or varies insignificantly because of reflection effects, slight ellipsoidality of components, or physical variations. Secondary minima may be absent. An extremely wide range of periods is observed, from 0.2 to >= 10000 days. Light amplitudes are also quite different and may reach several magnitudes. WD Systems with white-dwarf components. NL Novalike variables, which are insufficiently studied objects resembling novae by the characteristics of their light changes or The original data (images) have been re-scanned using new script.

Yes, we are looking back in time for every star we observe. This one is designated UX Uma, in the ‘Plough’.  UX Uma Plot from RAW data
So this happend 00:25 local time (Selsey UK) but really 13 years ago! Yes, with a simple script you can image the variable stars, using a list of variables and reference/check stars you can produce your BAA or AAVSO reports direct. Either at the time of imaging or as two separate processes. It is really great and many thanks to the guy’s at MSB (Astroart software team) http://msb-astroart.com for the work required to produce these new script commands…. So simple to do now: Load the image Great for fast time series. could process 100 measurements in about as many seconds. If anyone would like a custom script written to capture process and measure stars I am happy to help. All bits I had to find out and learn with the help of Andrew Wilson the BAA database manager. Yes, this is the result of a star measurement session. A time series of V filtered measurements of RW Tri at 880LY.  RW Tri Time Series. |

Nearly 3 million Light Years away (NGC 0589)
Bit too big for my field of view (26′ by 21′). But nice pic of the inner dust lanes also 19 Nov 2017!
