[Aavso-photometry] TrES-1 exoplanet transit observations featuredon Sky & Telescope website

[Greg Crawford]

A great achievement Tonny!

Obviously a lightcurve was the means of detection in this instance. Does this
mean that the detection of star "wobble" has faded into the background as a
means of detection, or is it just that this latter method requires a large
telescope and a relatively nearby star?
