Scientific paper

Advanced undergraduates now have the opportunity to track the brightness and variability of famous variable stars all over the sky with no more than a web browser and a spreadsheet. The opportunity arises from the Night Sky Live global network of fisheye CONtinuous CAMeras (CONCAMs) which generate public domain, on-line data, freely available at http://NightSkyLive.net . Here we use the deep eclipses of Beta Perseus (Algol) to demonstrate the use of the automatically generated photometry tables. Useful educational concepts in statistics and practical astronomy are clearly demonstrated.
