EzPhotW is a new Windows based program aimed at automating much of the tedious work reducing CCD images for use in stellar photometry. EzPhotW will automatically reduce and align multiple CCD images of star fields to magnitudes and perform differential photometry. When I bought my CCD camera, I was excited about the possibilities of doing photometry on many stars at once, since I had been previously limited to aperture photometry with a photomultiplier tube photometer. When I started reducing the large amount of data in the CCD image frames, I immediately began thinking about a better way. A program of this sort will constantly evolve to perform better.
Suggestions are always welcome.
New releases will add many more features. At this time it will recognize FITS files and SBIG files. If you want to suggest any other file formats, please send me mail. EzPhotW will do differential photometry on a variable, comparison and check star of your choosing. Many thanks to Dan Kaiser for his beta testing and use of his CCD image library.
