THE BAA VARIABLE STAR SECTION
The VSS offers members a range of interests be it observing, analysing or data mining.
Observations are of course of prime concern and we offer several programmes to cater for all types of observing from naked eye, through to binocular, telescopic and of course, CCD and DSLR observing.
Having obtained the observations it is necessary to analyse them and this can either be done by the observer or as part of an undertaking by another person (amateur or professional) who will usually combine data from several sources (or individuals).
Professional astronomers also ask, either directly or through the AAVSO, for observations either generally or of specific stars and this is something many of amateurs enjoy participating in.
Details of a number of the above examples will be displayed.
