Abstract: The capabilities of telescopes allow us to make the plotting of light curves a routine task. This one shifts the main attention of an astronomer from the plotting to research. To achieve this goal, we developed a new tool for automated reduction of photometric observations, which includes the computational method for the brightness assessment of the investigated and comparison stars; brightness equalization of astronomical images using an inverse median filter; light curve plotting and its processing using different tools.
