R04: Standard Star Calibrations

If you have observed Standard Stars during your observing night, you can use these observations to find a calibration to convert observed magnitudes at airmass \(X\): \(m_X\) to True magnitudes \(m_{\rm true}\). For details see the lecture slides about Photometry, specifically slides about Photometric Calibration.

You can use the following notebook as a starting point to using the observed standard star to calibrate your magnitudes.

The code uses the following csv file for the data on all the standard stars:
