Abstract

(Abstract only) In this paper we pick up where “The History of AAVSO Charts, Part II: The 1960s Through 2006” (Malatesta et al., 2007, JAAVSO, 35, 2, 377) left off and discuss the evolution of the automated chart plotter, the comparison star database, the new tools available to the chart and sequences team, and Director Arne Henden’s influence and legacy.
