Detecting and studying extrasolar planets with amateur equipment

Hello group
I started with my amateur equipment (10" Newton and CCD camera SBIG ST-7XME)
a photometric study of transits of extrasolar planets. Although the drop of
the light of the star is as lower as 0.01 magnitudes (or less), this
precision can be reached with amateur equipment (with teoretica limit set to
0.001 magnitudes). In my homepage I plotted the result of my first attempts,
with 2 transits of TrEs-2 and 1 on TrEs-4, a newly discovered planet.
Even with amateur equipment it is possible to achieve some scientific
result.
