Chapter 7 What follows are my thoughts on what equipment you need to get started with gathering data for lightcurve photometry and analysis. Most of this may already be familiar to you. However, I often get questions asking what's needed to get into lightcurve work, even from those who have equipment of which I’m sometimes envious. So, I’ll throw in my bit about what I think is important. Then you should ask others what they think is important. Then you should read what other people think is important. Only then are you probably ready to make your purchase. If you don’t have some of the equipment yet but have the opportunity to see it in action by attending a club meeting or star party, then make the most of that op- portunity. One of the great tragedies in this hobby is hearing of scopes and cam- eras going idle because someone got in over his head. Frustration was followed by disappointment, which was followed by lack of interest. If you want to burn up the Spousal Permission Units fast, spend thousands of dollars on equipment and have it collecting dust in the corner three months later. 7.1 The Telescope
