VStar is a multi-platform, easy-to-use variable star observation visualisation and analysis tool. Data can be read from a file or the AAVSO database, light curves and phase plots created, period analysis performed, and filters applied. Plugins can be developed, e.g. to make additional observation sources available.

User Reviews

  • Hello One useful add-on in the DC DFT standard scan plots is to allow the user to make the values for user-selected top hits stay on the graph so that we don't have to manually input them through image editors. Thank you,Tomas
