Scientific paper

One of the primary goals of the Citizen Sky project is to foster the development of Teams of every-day people with an interest in astronomy. These groups are composed of people with different, yet complementary skill sets who work together towards a common goal. Each team has a team leader and a professional astronomer assigned to act as an advisor. Here we highlight the work of one particular team who has produced documentation and software to teach first-time observers how to use consumer-grade digital cameras to produce accurate photometric magnitudes. We present a short history, the completed products, and lessons learned from this team.
We acknowledge support from the NSF Informal Science Education Division, to the AAVSO and the University of Denver.
