Default Exoplanet CoRoT-1b in Monoceros

Dear group,

This evening I decided to go after the transit involving CoRoT-1b in
Monoceros. Although the transit depth itself is quite doable at around
25 mmag (ie. 0.025 mag), the host star is only mag 13.6 and I did know
what to expect and especially in light of the fact I am using only an
aperture of 160mm.

I must confess my result is much better than I had expected:
http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...1-20100204.htm . There
are a number of other exoplanets whose host stars are of similar
magnitude and I will certainly give them a shot.

With my CoRoT-1b result, it seems egress was earlier than predicted
and I will follow-up on this observation.

Anthony.
