A focused web workflow that turns smart-telescope FITS images into calibrated B, V, and R measurements, averages, or light curves.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.
For
Smart-telescope observers working with FITS images
Worth noticing
Individual exposures currently produce calibrated B, V, and R measurements; native stacked images return V-band photometry only.

Field notes

The workflow accepts FITS files exported from supported smart-telescope systems and asks for right ascension and declination rather than a target name. Users can request one value per band, combine exposures, or generate a light curve with observation times in heliocentric Julian date. The page separates individual and native stacked images, noting that stacked inputs currently produce V-band results only. Exposure guidance is organized by approximate target magnitude and warns about saturation.
