Light-curve graph for Exoplanet Kepler-15 b

Another exoplanet whose transit was observed last night. Conditions were not very good, so the measurements are of moderate but acceptable quality. This exoplanet is also a hot Jupiter, similar in size to the planet in our Solar System but with only 0.66 times its mass. It completes an orbit around its star in 4.94 days.

This observation was made over an entire night using 130 photographs with 3-minute exposures, 2 x 2 binning, and no filters.
