CCD photometry with small telescopes often complements the use of such detectors on larger telescopes and in addition it is ideally suited to projects, such as determining variable star light curves, that require considerable amounts of observing time. Following a discussion of some of the techniques found useful for producing accurate CCD photometry, the results of several projects carried out with the SAAO 1m CCD camera are presented.
