Hello,

just to show here my last transit of Exoplanet TrES-3b orbiting the star TrES-3.

From portugal, this morning (1:30 - 4:30 local time).

Tak FS 102NSV @ f/6.2

QSI 532 WS-M1 + LHX

Bessel R photometric filter

ATLAS EQMOD

78 x 120 s exposures + 5 sec delay at T_CCD of -20ºC

All fits calibrated with Flats, Darks and Bias (30 of each)

Hope you like it .

Here the host star TrES-3:

Now that is very cool Paulo. It's amazing to think with only amateur equipment you can do similar things to the pro's.

That is exceptional work Paulo. As Kevin remarked, it is astonishing that amateurs can partake in the technical demonstrations of light curve plots of Exo planets parent stars. truly remarkable.

You are some guy my friend.

Do you know the orbital period of this body Paulo?, and it's size and distance from the star.?

Lot's of questions, I hope you don't mind.

Wow, I never realised this could be done with amateur equipment. This is an amazing piece of work Paulo, thanks for sharing it with us. I would imagine it may inspire others to have a look at this sort of work as well.
