[Aavso-photometry] Photometry in a Fog

[Brian D. Warner]

Greg,

If you're doing strictly differential photometry and not going to worry
about converting to standard magnitudes, you should be OK. I've done
differential photometry through fog. As long as the SNRs held up, I got very
usable results.

You might be able to get the data on a standard system, providing you
already know the necessary info for the comparisons. Of course, you can
always go back and do those on a better night.


Clear Skies,
