| contents | Processing astronomical data can take up a significant amount of researchers' time. The 80cm telescope at Xizang University is currently in its trial operation phase; however, it lacks a data processing program, which makes efficient handling of the data it generates an urgent concern. To address this issue, we have developed an automatic pipeline for processing photometric data and extracting light curves using Python 3. This pipeline has several advantages, including high speed, ease of use, and modularity. The differential photometric accuracy of this pipeline is comparable to that of data processing programs used by other similar telescopes. This development effectively overcomes the limitations of manually processing data, providing efficient and reliable support for future studies of variable stars. The pipeline has already been integrated into the telescope's operational system. |
