During our trip we were on the road for 16 days, 5 of which we spent at the saskatchewan summer star party, and 5 at the Mt Kobau star party. Out of the 10 star party days, I got exactly one session with decent imaging Even that one wasn't perfect, I was shooting the transit on Wasp-10b. Got a nice flatline leading into transit, then clouded out just before ingress. Got some flatline after ingress when the clouds moved on. I did have some challenges getting aip4win to accept the two sets, the autoguider moved the scope all over the place during the clouded out part of the session, and I had to re-aquire the target after the clouds left. But, I did get a nice curve from the second half, and now that we are home, I got the data on my desktop where I could play with it for a bit this evening. First preliminary result of measuring a transit, this is the egress portion of the data, I'll get all the rest glued in properly tomorrow, but this is the section of that shoot that aip4win is happy with to just take strait away and plot a curve. The prediction is for 0.039 delta on this one, and that bump in this curve near center is about right.
