There are a few seats available in the CHOICE course, How to Use VStar. The course runs May 26 - June 22, 2025 - STARTS MONDAY - and is taught by Aritra Das. Cost is $35.00 for AAVSO members, $60.00 for non-members. Click here to enroll.
The AAVSO’s VStar is a powerful data visualization/analysis program that will allow you to explore and work with variable star data from the AAVSO International Database and from external databases.
Enroll by Sunday noon ET. Questions? Contact Elizabeth Waagen, eowaagen@aavso.org
I can’t find anything about what time the class is on Monday and what the rest of the schedule for the course is.

There is information about how CHOICE courses work in the links on the enrollment page, but basically, the course runs via a dedicated AAVSO forum. The instructor and students hold discussions, deal with homework, etc. there. There is no set time for a class - students work at their own pace according to the schedule set by the instructor. Registration will close Sunday morning ET, May 25.

Thanks Elizabeth. I hadn’t found that webpage. The “click here to enroll” link in the message above doesn’t have any links to the “how CHOICE courses work” page. It just describes the content of the course and a button to add the course to your cart.

Sorry it wasn’t there, Walt. I’m so used to going to the descriptions, etc. via the main CHOICE page that I neglected to include the link to the main page.
