Default My second exoplanet transit in the bag

Well half in the bag at least.

I managed to catch the egress of recently announced HD189733b on Friday
using just a modified webcam but missed the ingress window tonight because
of cloud cover.

This is the easiest exoplanet for amateurs to date. Nice and deep at 3% , a
bright mag 7 parent star and a good matching comparison star nearby. It is
easy to find too, near M27.
