Implementing a real-time data stream for time-series stellar photometry

We present a new automated photometric pipeline optimized for time-series photometry that includes a real-time datastreaming service. An observer using this resource can automatically stream photometric data over the Internet. Other observers can then monitor the data streamin real time and make an informed decision whether to perform complementary observations of a transient event in progress. Our pipeline uses a modular designso that it can be easily implemented or customized as a real-time robotic telescopepipeline on any observatory. The pipeline is controlled through the user friendlySAOImage DS9 package.
