Synchronous group campaign - observing TOI-2076b
Hi everyone,
Happy New Year again full of clear skies! Hope you are all well :)
We are continuing this new year with more open efforts for synchronous observations campaigns and the next campaign is about the upcoming transit of TOI-2076b (https://www.exoclock.space/database/planets/TOI-2076b/ which is happening on this Saturday the 21st of January, between 01:20 UTC and 06:40 UTC (the observation occurs the night between Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st of January).
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/ As the star is relative bright you need to be careful to not use very short exposure time. 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 Note also that your observation will not be published immediately as it will undergo a combined analysis with other data.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!
Anastasia on behalf of the synchronous observations working group
