Outline: Photometric Analysis of the RZ Piscium Field

Introduction

• Title Slide
• Summary
• Overall project
• what the overall goal is and why

Image Reduction

• Why image reduction is needed in general
• How a CCD works and why a bias is needed/what a bias is
• how bias images are taken and how master bias is created and used
• why need a flat 
• specific problems flats solve (vignette, dust in optical surfaces)
• give examples in form of images
• how flat field images are taken and how master flat is created and used
• brief slide on plate solving

Photometry

• What photometry is and why useful
• relative photometry 
• problem with photometry and why need comparison stars (transparency and seeing variations)
• how relative photometry corrects for these
• how get from magnitude (ratio) to value and why needed
• comparisons to 2MASS
