HD 149026_b Ingress

2014 06 17
Since 2006 that I'm pursuing this hard to catch exoplanet. Made a few attempts and all failed, some due to weather and others due to hardware.
Well, this one was on the same unlucky trend but at least I got an ingress...
It was discovered in 2005 in the Hercules constellation.

This exoplanet has a few things that makes it hard to do a proper capture:
It orbits a bright V8.16 mag G0 IV type star.
It has a very shallow depth (~3mmag).
It requires a FOV (field of view) big enough to get the nearby star with aprox the same magnitude, all other stars in the field are to faint for good precision photometry.
