1 Astronomical Video Reduction Software 1 Hristo Pavlov IOTA 2011, 17 June 2011

2 LiMovie Pros Lunar Occultations Fresnel Diffraction Tool Lunar Grazes and Mutual Events Cons Basic tracking Blind measurements May need other software (AviSynth) Manual update 2

3 Tangra Pros Review measurements frame by frame Can open almost all videos directly Workflow. Improved tracking Range of measurement methods Pre-processing and software integration Cons No Lunar Occultations support No Mutual Events support 3

4 Tangra - Photometric Methods Papers Mighell, K., 1999, "Algorithms for CCD Stellar Photometry Stetson. P., 1986, "DAPHOT: A computer program for crowded-field stellar photometry", Naylor, T. 1998, An Optimal Extraction for Imaging Photometry Aperture Photometry PSF Photometry Numerical Analytical Optimal Extraction 4
