Exoplanet TrES-1b in Lyra

Dear friends ... and streaker Dave,

Last night I sat down to pursue the predicted transit for TrES-1b in Lyra. Although the winds were very strong and I did think about packing things up on more than one occasion, I eventually sat things out and let the session complete (much to my satisfaction after seeing the results). However, I would like to revisit this exoplanet over the next few days with the two or three opportunities which do exist so as to pursue hopefully a cleaner result under better conditions.

The light curve is available on my website at www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photometry-TrES-1-20080708.htm .... I promise to follow-up later this week with another transit result for TrES-1b under better weather conditions.

Anthony,

Congrats on this excellent result. I'm sure it is very satisfying to observe something which only a reasonably short time ago was merely the subject of speculation. It is also a measure of just how far advanced amateurs like yourself have come in a short period of time.

Now with that out of the way........................

If you had have knitted me a large enough towel you would not had caused me to drop the small towel which my poor little hands could not hold. So I blame you!!! Yes it is your fault :lol: :lol:
