- Your local astronomy textbook or (if neccessary) the Wikipedia entry for photometry is probably a good place to go for a longer general introduction.
- The IRAF manuals are old but still very, very valid. If you can pay attention to the concepts and ignore the IRAF-specific instructions, you can learn an awful lot from these manuals. Oldies but goodies.
