Adds a method to the PhotObject class that make possible to bin the flux data in time.

Adds a method in the Photometer classes to calculate the optimal aperture from some images.

Add te automatic tools to load more catalogs from Vizier, as the code do at the moment with UCAC4 catalog. They can be:

• Tycho-2
• Hipparcos
• 2MASS
• AAVSO
• ASAS
• GSC 2.3
• NOMAD
• PPMX
• USNO-A2.0
• USNO-B1.0

Add a method to limit the signal/noise ratio (snr) and magnitude filter in stars comparison to get the median magnitude of an star.

This is possible expansible to a filter for n_bright_stars or for n_near_stars.

When try to load big catalogs, the time to load is huge. This problem is probably related to the checking of existing stars. There is 2 possible solutions:

• a new faster algorithm;
• when loading for the first time a table, skip this function. Or add a skip_existence_checking parameter to the loading functions.

Do a better logging system including:

• store informations to pass then to fits headers;
• print important informations from various functions not ready yet.

Refactor the reducing code to a more readable way. Try to improve the multi-core operations too.

Add filters in magnitude or another variables in catalog loading methods.

Improve the performace of some numerical functions using Cython.

Its needed the documentation of the code!
