Re: Some rambling, feedback solicited

As Brian mentioned, exposures may be long, so get the most sensitive camera you can afford, with regulated cooling. There is science that can be done using different wavelengths, like limb-darkening or atmospheric detection, but you would do an entire transit in one wavelength then repeat with another wavelength - not changing during a transit. I have encountered no photometric issues using a filter wheel.

I would start with variables too.
