Exo-Planet Transit Observations: Part 1: Selecting a Transiting Exo planet to observe
Channel: SimonTelescopium

This video is aimed at members of the Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society - home of the Crayford Focuser - specifically at those members wanting to use the societies' 16" LX200 telescope to perform exo-planet transit observations. However is it also suitable for anyone who wants to start observing these transits.

I've observed over 50  transiting exo-planets using my 8" telescope and in this video I'll outline my approach to these observations.

Part 1 is all about using the exoclock.space website to select an exo-planet transit to observe.
