The new Kron photometer is a traditional-style aperture photometer using a photon-counting photomultiplier tube (PMT) system. However, unlike previous Lowell photometers, the Kron photometer was designed to be run from the control room and so has an acquisition CCD camera and motorized wheels for remote operations. As such, it can be used in conjunction with the autoguiders at the 72-inch and 42-inch telescopes; it can also operate at the 31-inch telescope. A scripting language permits the automation of observing sequences, while communication with the telescope MOVE computer allows the photometer to direct the telescope to new locations. Designed and constructed in-house at Lowell Observatory during 1998, primary funding for the new photometer was generously provided by Gerald and Katherine Kron, longtime supporters of Lowell Observatory.
