Exoplanet transit excercise in Hong Kong

文章 sn-10 » 週四 14 8月, 2008 13:05

Just to see if it is possible to detect such degree of magnitude reduction in Hong Kong.

It is possible even under the hazy sky and the full moon. :D

Great!
What do the 3 distinct peaks interpret?
Do they suggest there are finer features of the exoplanet affecting measured brightness (e.g. 2 large moons) or just due to Earth's atmospheric reasons?

Good observation.

I have sent the data to transit search for further analysis.
