Fotometria di Betelgeuse; Fotometria di Betelgeuse; DSLR Photometry of Betelgeuse.
Abstract
We describe the acquisition procedure of images with DSLR cameras to measure the luminosity of Betelgeuse during the 2020 Winter. Aperture photometry was performed using MaximDL and IRAF/ apphot softwares obtaining very similar results. Comparison with AAVSO published data confirm the possibility to obtain reliable results following the variability of bright (naked-eye) stars simply with a DSLR camera on a fixed tripod.
