Video: "How to observe an exoplanet (NASA Exoplanet Watch)"

[LeonBew]

Make a video explaining the practical side of observing an exoplanet transit, thus getting data to use in EXOTIC, applicable for all self-owned/uni/school telescopes, MObs, and LCO.

Expected length: 30 - 60min

Topics covered:

• Basic theory (lightcurve, comparison stars, ...)
• Camera/sensor characteristics and settings (full well, nonlinearity, binning, ...)
• Telescope & mount choice and useage (aperture, focal length in combination with camera, meridian flips, ...)
• Explanation of image calibration methods (darks, flats, bias)
• Best practices and resolving common issues
• Link to further reading & EW Slack for questions

To do:

• Complete video script
• Finish graphics & animations
• Record and divide into chapters
• Send video script in for review
