Hi Folks;

In case any of you are interested in trying to do ExoPlanet Transit photometric light curve using Astro IIDC, I found a really great interactive database that lists known exoplanets and details on them:

The cool part is their Transit Predictions site:

http://var2.astro.cz/ETD/predictions.php

Enter your East Longitude and Latitude, it predicts what transits are visible for your location. That makes it a lot easier to prioritize targets and see if you can detect them. I suspect under good conditions I can probably detect a 0.03 magnitude change, but some of them are 0.005 or lower and are well beyond my skies.

TTYL..
