[Aavso-photometry] New AAVSO Online Airmass & Scintillation Calculator

[Michael Koppelman]

This is great. Nice job, Aaron.

I was thinking about what sort of information we need from the observer 
and what information we can calculate ourselves. For example, there is 
no reason to have people submit HJD because it is easy to calculate 
after the fact. If we knew the latitude/longitude of our observers, we 
could also calculate airmass after the fact. I'm wondering if it would 
make sense to add lat/long to the users' profiles so that is possible?

Just a random thought.

Keep up the great work.

Cheers,
