Variable star charts are critical to the observing process. It is absolutely vital that everyone use the same chart when observing a star. Using a different chart can introduce scatter to the database. When observing, always check here first to see if an AAVSO chart exists. If so, always use it instead of other charts. When no AAVSO chart exists, you can then use charts made by others.
