Dear group,
One of the latest exoplanet discoveries (2007) involves TrES-3 in
Hercules. What is of great interest surrounding this discovery is the
exoplanet's proximity to its parent star and its degenerative orbit.
In other words, at some point this exoplanet will not be available for
study due to its orbit and impending collision into its sun....
I contacted a couple of individuals a priori surrounding this transit
and I was told that it is not possible in the slightest given the dim
magnitude of the parent star, the transit depth and my small aperture.
Well, no pain, no gain....
They must not have been familiar with your level of determination!
For the light-curve in two-formats as well as a finder chart, I kindly
direct you to http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...3-20080503.htm
...
There are additional exoplanet transits over the next few months and
which I will certainly be pursuing.
And catching, no doubt. This is truly distinguished work.
Davoud
