[Aavso-photometry] Charts and more for TRES-1 Transit Search Object

[Lew Cook]

Me too!

Both for the congratulations/welcome back to Aaron and for
the increase in significant digits.

I'm glad someone else is asking for this, too! I understand
it will be possible soon, as the data base will be
reworked. Also there is the need to have  the capability of
entering 5 significant digits in the time.
