    Good video

    Wow great that a light curve can be generated relatively easily….
    This may be a dumb question, so please forgive me if it is…
    With this program then could light curves by a similar procedure be generated on objects other than asteroids or comets but also stars as well and if so what would be the difference in procedure and if applicable would you make a similar tutorial for stars….thank you Daniel.😊

      Yes, it also works on variable stars, I will upload a tutorial to demonstrate that as well.

    Hello Daniel, is a scale for the video that the installation of Libsvm because I did not understand the directory to specify in the track Analysis and in the .trk File Statistics Directory
    Advance Thank you good for your return

      Sure, this question relates to the other video on the machine learning topic, but I can answer it here. For the .trk File Statistics directory, you would set it equal to the path that contains datasets with generated track files, of the form "track_list_all.trk". In other words, you have one or more datasets, and for each dataset you have invoked the AutoRun module to generate track files. So the directory you would specify is simply that which contains the root path to these datasets (it will perform a search of all subdirectories).

    Thanks for the video. i would like to know if the comp star were used to compute the reduced or relative magnitude of the asteroid (at the 23 min of the video)? If not, for what the stars were used. thanks again!

      Hi, yes the comparison stars are used to compute the (standard) magnitude of the object.

      ​@@tychotracker Sorry, would be the calibrated magnitude, right? And is it possible to also obtain the reduced and relative magnitude if we want? thanks

      ​@@tychotracker I have another question: Is it possible to download the derived magnitude for analysis using other program? thanks

      @@Filipesilvers Yes, the photometry data can be exported to ALCDEF format which is the standard for minor planet photometry.
