Finder Chart ideas

Citizen Sky is now officially permanent part of the AAVSO. In the coming weeks we will be moving additional content to the AAVSO site and freezing this site as an archive of the 1st three years of the project. Please visit the new landing page for future updates.

I thought it might be helpful for beginners to have a finder chart that shows all the stars mentioned in Brians spread sheet and which looked a bit more like an actual DSLR image of the field.This is harder than Ihad expected. If you add too many annotations, it somehow destroys trhe overall impression of the field .I'm also not convinced whether a normal or negative image should be used. Negative is definitely more user friedly for printing. Anyway, attached are a few of my ideas, please let me know whether any of those might be useful (my favorite is the multi-page one).CSHeinz-Bernd

Personally, I like

Personally, Ilike chart1_negative_landscape.pdf although for some odd reason there are a few "pointers" floating at the bottom of the page. I think we should post the single page versions, but I think we need to add a few things first: 1. Add in a title, something like "DSLR Photometry Tutorial Finder Chart" 2. Add in the CSky logo so people can identify where it came from: http://www.citizensky.org/sites/default/files/citizen_sky_4lightBG.pdf or http://www.citizensky.org/sites/default/files/citizen_sky_4darkBG.pdf 3. Add in an acknowledgement to yourself (username or real name is fine) and this team in the lower right in smaller print. Something like "Chart created by bikeman as part of the DSLRPhotometry Documentation and Reduction team" would work well. I'd be glad to post the multiple page version too if you want to add something to those as well. Brian

Brian, thanks for the feedback. I created a WiKi Page http://www.citizensky.org/teams/dslr-documentation-and-reduction/tutoria... and attached a new version (as PDF)to it. CS HBE
