I've been observing Exo-Planet transits for 6 years and recently hit my 200th!

These are all for the Exo-Clock Project

Each transit takes 5-7 hours of clear skies and between 60 - 800 exposures depending on exposure time. I've been through 2 telescopes, 2 CMOS censors and 2 Mounts over that time. And have enjoyed the challenge in acquiring the data and the puzzle of post processing, photometry and fitting the light curves.
