Synchronous group campaign - observing K2-198b
Hi everyone, Hope you are all well! You might have read already in the February newsletter about our upcoming synchronous observations campaign. Particularly, our next target for the open synchronous observations campaign is about the transit of the HIGH priority target K2-198b https://www.exoclock.space/database/planets/K2-198b/ which is happening between Thursday the 23rd of February 23:43 UTC and Friday the 24th of February 04:40 UTC (the observation occurs the night between Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of February). If you have a telescope between 8 and 16 inches, you can give it a try and observe the transit. Note that this transit will NOT appear in your scheduler so you will need to organise your observation yourselves. You can check the ExoworldsSpies scheduler to see if the transit is observable from your location (you should use a telescope aperture of 20 inches, otherwise the planet will not appear). https://www.exoworldsspies.com/en/scheduler/ Remember that the exposure time should be longer than your overheads (dead time between exposures). To be able to have a decent exposure time you may need to use a filter -preferably Red Cousins- or to defocus your telescope. You wouldn't need to do anything special in terms of the analysis, just upload the observations to ExoClock in the normal fashion. Please indicate in the comment section that the observation is "part of the synchronous observations campaign". Note also that your observation will not be published immediately as it will undergo a combined analysis with other data. In the meantime, let us know if there are any questions. Good luck and hopefully we get some clear skies this time! Anastasia on behalf of the synchronous observations working group
