Instrumental magnitude refers to a measurement of the brightness of an astronomical object as recorded by a specific instrument, typically an astronomical telescope or photometer. This measurement is usually made without any corrections for atmospheric conditions, the object's distance, or intrinsic brightness. Instrumental magnitude is an important concept in observational astronomy since it provides the raw data for further analysis.
