Abstract

A new photometer is presently being developed at the O.C.A. Observatory. It consists of four arms and a CCD camera situated in the focal plane of the telescope. Each arm can move in both directions and support a diaphragm and a liquid optic guide that directs the light to a photomultiplier. The simultaneous acquisition of the four signals enables to obtain magnitude differences between the objects in real time. A typical use of this photometer is to observe at the same time one or two variables, comparison stars and the sky background.
