Announcement: New Applications
We are excited to announce the launch of our new applications! We're opening up early access to our new applications for searching, downloading, and submitting photometric observations. You can now access these applications through these links:
We ask for your feedback in order to help us improve these applications. Please send feedback for the applications above to feedback@aavso.org. Note: please avoid duplicating submissions across the two submit applications.
You're right, I think. And after a 100 + observations we all hope you are consistent in how groups,especially, are counted. That way your k - factor will correct most of the group splitting. Once you get used to a way of counting, stick with it ;-) Here's how the k -factors look for today, so just tally the Ra number (W * k) to get an overall idea:
Hi David,
Here's what's in the database for today (lot of variability there). Perhaps folks are splitting the group:

Thanks for that.

Rodney,
Thanks for that.
I thnk group/spots is as mutch of a craft as a science.....
