Photometric errors due to scintillation are considered in detail. Given noise characteristics, the standard deviations, as deduced from observations, are computed for the quantities measured at successive steps of the photometric procedure. This allows us to understand better the errors computed on-line in observatories, and to understand better the overall error. The latter can be minimized by suitable changes in the time sequence of the measurement.
