Undertaking photometry is well within the reach of the average amateur, yet most astronomers never try it. No matter what your equipment, you can start your photometric adventure and participate in a whole new aspect of the hobby at little to no additional cost. This video series, "Exploring Photometry" shows you how. This video is an enhanced version of my earlier video, "Getting Started with Photometry," and contains additional material relating to the submission of photometric results to the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) and why becoming a citizen scientist is so important to the professional astronomic community.
