EAA with RR Lyr or similar stars

Hello everybody!

Besides of my uploaded observations of the beat Cepheid star AS Cas, I also have interest in doing a live stream with either a short period pulsator, such as RR Lyr, or a fast binary eclipse for outreach purposes.
I do remember that some months ago, there was a way of making observations on real time with Astro Image J, if I remember well, and there was a video of an AAVSO webinar about it, but I simply cannot find it. Does anyone recall this webinar? Any information will be most appreciated.

Cheers!

Hello Enrique,

I found the webinar! It was Gary Hawkins’ presentation on doing outreach with a live plot showing real-time photometry. Here you go:

I love your idea of doing an outreach livestream. If/when you decide to do it, please post a notice here in the forums—I’d love to tune in, and I’m sure other forum readers would, as well!

And you might try high-amplitude delta Scuti (HADS) stars. With periods down near a couple of hours or less you could catch a whole cycle in one outreach session.

Yes, Lauren! This is the one. Thanks so much!

I’ll definitely post an invitation to the live stream, once I figure out how to do it :slight_smile: The idea is to do it with the equipment I am going to set up in the next couple of weeks in Starfront (close to Brady, TX), which I am going to be able to control remotely. The weather and the Bortle class there are much better than at my home. But, yes, the idea is to put this to work ASAP.

Again, thanks so much, Lauren. You’re always of great help for everyone.

Cheers,
