Resumen
En esta sección trataremos sobre temas relacionados con astrometría y fotometría, haciendo énfasis en diversos programas de uso frecuente por parte del astrónomo amateur. El foco se pone sobre la operativa del uso de los programas, y sobre el motivo de las diferentes etapas en el proceso que conduce a la obtención de una magnitud fotométrica o una posición astrométrica. Comenzamos en este número con el programa ASTROMETRICA que, aunque veterano, sigue siendo muy utilizado en la comunidad.

Abstract
In this section, we will cover topics related to astrometry and photometry, with an emphasis on various programs frequently used by amateur astronomers. The focus is on the operation of these programs and the reasoning behind the different stages in the process that leads to obtaining a photometric magnitude or an astrometric position. In this issue, we begin with the program ASTROMETRICA, which, despite being an older program, is still widely used in the community.
