AUTOSTAR CCD PHOTOMETRY 69

Because of the volume of data involved, it is suggested that a

computer program be developed to handle the calculations. As

mentioned earlier, FileMaker Pro is an easy-to-learn database

program ideally suited to these tasks. Figure E-1 shows a screen

shot of a database developed at the Hopkins Phoenix Observatory

(HPO).
