Hello Nick,I have the same CCD camera. I control the camera and capture images using AstroArt. I use the same package for image calibration (flat-fielding and subtracting darks) and I process in Photoshop. For variable star photometry I use AIP4WIN – the BAA VSS has a spreadsheet for handling the AIP4WIN output files, making it easy to extract the magnitude in a format that can be uploaded to the VSS and AAVSO databases.I haven’t used the other two packages to which you refer, although I understand Maxim DL is excellent.Go well!Jeremy
