    Yes. I recommend you to use for example the telephoto lens Pentacon 135 mm f 2.8 with a CMOS camera ZWO ASI 120 MM and the equatorial mount Skywatcher EQ3–2. The budget would be around 300 euros if you buy them in Ebay. I think it is better explained with a video: youtube.com/…

The steps to detect the exoplanet are the following:



  1. Find out when is the exoplanet going to transit the star with the Exoplanet Transit Database.

  2. With a program called SharpCap, take for example 5-second exposures with a gain of 1 for 3 hours.

  3. Once the transit has finished, with a program called ‘AstroImageJ’ open all the images, select the target star and for example a couple of reference stars, and perform multi-aperture photometry to detect the light curve.

It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
