Detect exoplanets by yourself with the cheapest equipment

[QUOTE="Drakkith, post: 6075215, member: 272035"] Major equipment: 8-inch telescope at F/8 Atlas EQ-G Mount SBIG-2000XM camera My method was essentially the same as Alberto's. Find the target star, take an exposure very X amount of seconds such that neither my target nor reference stars were overexposed, and then process them. Align all the images and find the average of several reference stars in the FOV for each exposure and then compare that value to the measured value of your target. Do this for each frame and then plot the results. Luckily most of the processing was a semi-automated process with the software I was using. [/QUOTE]
