Episode 98

In this episode of the Observers Notebook podcast, host Tim Robertson talks to the ALPO Lunar Section Coordinator Jerry Hubbell on a recent paper he published called “A Comparison of the Diffuser Method Versus the Defocus Method for Performing High-Precision Photometry with Small Telescope Systems”

Jerry discusses exactally what that all means and how amateur astronomers can assist in the hunt for ExoPlanets, and when we can expect in the future, and contact information.
