Hi Eamonn,

This is GREAT advice and certainly something I did not know. Since I have all of the associated files for each exoplanet transit I have captured so far, I will go back and redo the analyses.

I very much appreciate the heads-up and great tip! :idea: :D

Well Done Anthony!
I've only just got round to reading all your data.
I'm actually gobsmacked this kind of work is now being produced by amateurs.
It yet again blurs the line between amateur and professional.
I guess the only real difference is a paycheck.

Hi Anthony,

Regarding WASP-3b, if you have a FOV of 10 arc mins there are at least 5 comparison stars that are non variable and close to the target mag either side.

You will find that your result will improve possibly down to ~4 millimags precision assuming that your seeing is about 1.5 arc secs at your location.
