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.
Thank you for asking about downloading observations from the AAVSO International Database (AID).
You may download your own observations via the Download feature in WebObs. You may download observations from the AID of any object for any interval via the Data Download form (https://www.aavso.org/data-download). Download formats are comma-, tab-, or space-delimited. The file will be .txt; download it, then rename the extension to what is appropriate.
For links to uploading data to or downloading data from the AAVSO's public databases - photometry and visual, spectroscopy, exoplanets - go to our homepage (https://www.aavso.org) and click on the "Submit and Access Data" icon in the middle left square of the large grid.
