Scientific paper

In August/September 2006, after the IAU meetings in Prague, a group of us met for two weeks at the Moletai Observatory, in Lithuania. Attending the meeting were the three authors, Olga Pintado from Argentina and the Lithuanian group, headed by Vytas Straižys. We started the meeting with a series of papers given by each member of the group. The first papers dealt with the creation of the Strömvil System, the next papers concerned the reduction of data and the calibration of the system. The final paper session reviewed the CommandLog, written by Janusz and Boyle. The CommandLog allows one to paint IRAF commands into the IRAF window and this ensures that all members of our group will reduce the photometric data in exactly the same way. For the rest of the meeting the group used the CommandLog to reduce photometric data. The Lithuanian group had not used this method up to now so Janusz and Boyle instructed them on the use of the CommandLog. CCD data from the Maksutov telescope at Moletai was reduced and gave good results. Janusz, Philip and Pintado worked on CCD data obtained on the 2.15 M telescope at Casleo in July. They confirmed earlier reductions made at Castel Gandolfo last year that the white spot on the dome gave flat frames that needed no corrections.
