2019
Gary Walker’s work in milli-mag photometry using the
Kepler KL400 camera is setting new standards for
precision. According to Gary, “The Kepler is 3x better
than my previous $38K camera. I have more than 85,000
CCD observations in the AAVSO data base, including the
first by an amateur, and none of those observations had
errors as low as .0008 mags [like the KL400].”
