Hi Eric – thanks for your thoughts. An observing program centred on specific targets is preferable in that observers can compare results and methods which lead on to better things. I would imagine that most professionals work on specific missions so we probably need to tie into a mission but a friendly face within a mission would be of considerable help. ~Watch out for the next BAA Newsletter and e-bulletin specific to the proposed Exoplanet Section.
