Dear observers, is there a hope to search VS by VPhot some time or other, or better to forget this thought?

Variable Star search in VPhot

VPhot used to have have a VS search feature. It would look through a series of images for stars that varied from image-to-image. The featlure was deactivated and hidden from view because it imposed about 20-30 seconds of processing for every file uploaded. This was considered an unreasonable load on the system.

If there is strong interest in this feature we can discuss how to make it available again.
