Abstract

Most observatories have replaced photoelectric photometers by CCD cameras at present. This caused new possibilities but also troubles in obtaining new photometric observations of bright stars. We offer simple solution using nanotelescopes equipped by CCD cameras which could be used mainly by amateur astronomers and for teaching of astronomy. Several examples of results are given.
