Default Exoplanet WASP-24b in Virgo

Dear group,

Last week the WASP exoplanet team announced the discovery of five new
exoplanets. Last night I pursued one of these five new exoplanets,
namely WASP-24b in Virgo. This exoplanet requires 155.5 minutes to
transit its parent star at a depth of 12 mmag while requiring only
56.2 hours to complete one orbit about its sun!

Further details including the first amateur result involving WASP-24b
at http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...4-20100422.htm .

Clear skies!

Anthony.
