We've got new equipment here over the last couple of weeks, and I'm hoping to be all set up fairly soon, so that we start doing transits fairly regularily again here. I've stepped up from the C8 to a 12 inch RC, so thinking I should be able to get better results than we did in the past, and our results in the past were pretty decent.

Is there free or not expensive software?

The actual photometry can be carried out is lots of software packages from expensive (Maxim DL or Mira) to free (MuniWin). Analysis of the data can be done for free by ETD - awesome site.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area in California which should give me a Long. of N122 and Lat. W37. The second observable time for Qatar 1b for me says it is: 2456282.388 20.12 20:30(17,N) 20.12 21:18(20,N) 20.12 22:07(23,NE), which if those times are in UTC that would put it during daylight for me.

Your longitude (Eastern) is 238 (360-122) and your latitude is (N)37. Elongitude used in ETD starts at prime meridian (0) and goes East from there to 360 - all positive, not West negative to -180 and East positive to +180 Post Extras:       Nick Rose super member Reged: 11/01/10 Loc: San Mateo, CA Re: First full Exoplanet Transit [Re: gavinm]       #5579318 - 12/19/12 05:29 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks for the fix. I was wondering what the Elong. standed for. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 8 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
