A method for direct measurement and profiling of electromagnetic energy from a star at a known distance from the observer entails collecting photons from the star with a camera through a telescope or lens of a given aperture area up to the known full well depth of the camera's image sensor, determining the time needed to reach the sensor's full well depth, using that collection time and the sensor's bandgap and sensitivity characteristics at full well depth to calculate the energy received per second through the aperture area, determining the number of aperture areas needed to cover the surface area of a sphere with a radius equal to the star's distance, and determining the total energy output of the star by multiplying the determined electromagnetic energy received through the aperture area by the number of apertures needed.
A method of observing a star from an observation location, comprising:
