Hi Wayne (and Steve and others who expressed interest off list), I was going to write something here but Joe called and we spoke at length about this whole "taking data" thing, specifically exoplanets and said he was next going to interview Cindy and Jerry Foote (they're the ones that got me involved in exoplanet work and continue to be my mentors). Joe is then going to write something up and place it in his blog. So I think I'll hold off on going into detail here and wait to see what Joe pens so we don't duplicate efforts. Clear skies! patrick (just finishing up with a beautiful night on HD17156b) On 23 Nov 2009, at 12:31, Wayne Sumner wrote:
Hi Patrick, I'm very close to first light in our high school observatory. I need to come watch you do this so I can teach my students how. I'm still working on polar alignment and CCD camera software installation. Thanks,
