Analyzing C (i.e. unfiltered) images in VPhot

Technology VPhot

For the first time today I tried to do an estimate on a couple of ‘C’ images of AO Her gathered with DSO35 (with the goal of submitting CV observations). After setting the comp and check stars and selecting “View Photometry Report” I get this on the report page:

I tried changing the pulldown values in the upper right from V to C and hitting Refresh but the result is the same. I assume there’s something else I need to do to get a CV estimate; does anyone know what that is?

Thanks,
Brian (SBQ)

Use RENAME option for filter change.

Brian;

Check the list of comps stars below target star estimates and see if they are inactive? Click them if so.

Thanks, Ken, that seemed to be it. The “Active” box was indeed unchecked and after checking it and refreshing the result comes through.
