[vsnet-chat 1427] Re: V vs. CCD-minus IR

[bas@lowell.Lowell.Edu (Brian Skiff)]

     I agree with Kato-san's assessment of the comments on IAUC 7041---Liller's
"broadband-V" is simply too wide.  Although it is not possible to get 
perfect V magnitudes for novae, any passband that includes the very bright
H-alpha line, which Liller's bandpass evidently does, is bound to result in
too-bright "V" magnitudes.  Here is one case where a well-trained eye can do
nearly as well as a photometer/CCD.
