With recent advances in Charged Coupled Devices (CCDs), it is now possible to do high speed CCD photometry. Though photelectric photometry has a rich history and many years of software development, CCDs have several advantages over photometers: They have a higher quantum efficiency and eliminate many of the problems associated with the requirement of a fixed aperture in photoelectric photometry. However, CCD photometry has yet to develop the necessary tools to efficiently reduce and analyze the quantities of time-series data produced. Two other areas where advancement is needed are in decreasing the CCD readout times and producing real time light curves. We present steps taken to address these two issues. Dead times were shortened by examining various CCD geometries and scripts were written to process the data more efficiently. Our work has produced efficient methods for obtaining and reducing high speed CCD observations and brings us a step closer to producing real time light curves.
