You may plot your own observation in VSNET format or data from AAVSO or AFOEV.

You may click on this graph to show the magnitude, change the color or the current period and print the graph. If you are connected to the Internet you can immediately get additional data from the AAVSO Quick Look, the VSNET data browser or AFOEV observation:

A mouse right click on a line of the main window show you a menu to enter a new observation. UT decimal is automatically calculated from date and UT time. 

You can also use the AAVSO PCObs software to enter your observation, in this case you can copy the star designation by using Shift+Insert in the corresponding field.

The same menu allow you to plot a chart of the selected star using "Cartes du Ciel / Sky Charts". The chart is automatically centered on the current star and use a customizable profile for the default options.
