Methods of observations and astrophysical data reduction: CCD photometry
and astrometry. Description of the telescope and CCD camera, selection of targets.
Light curves of variable star, eclipsing binary and minor planet. Deep sky objects
(galaxy, star cluster, nebula). Calibration (darkframe, flatfield), aperture photometry.
Data reduction, mid-eclipse time estimation, period determination.
Tasks are processed via remote access to the 65-cm telescope in Ondrejov.

Methods of observations and astrophysical data reduction: CCD photometry and astrometry.
Program and objectives: 1. Description of the 65-cm reflecting telescope and CCD camera G2 in Ondrejov observatory, selection of suitablr targets according to weather conditions. 2. Light curves of variable star, eclipsing binary and minor planet. 3. Deep sky objects (galaxy, star cluster, nebula). 4. Calibration frames (darkframe, flatfield). 5. Data reduction, aperture photometry, mid-eclipse time estimation, period determination.
Tasks are processed via remote access to the 65-cm telescope in Ondrejov.
