Yuk. We’re getting into our full-blown winter weather pattern, which makes observing more difficult. Nonetheless, sessions 6 (December 24) and 7 (January 1) are noteworthy because they contain the first “dual” session observing KIC 9832227. On both days, I had the telescope observe KIC 9832227 from sunset (about 5pm) until “star-set” (about 9pm) and then do another observing run from “star-rise” (about 4am) until sunrise (about 6:30am). (And from 9pm to 4am I did my other astronomy observing projects.) Bad morning weather prevented anything useful from the morning session on Christmas Morning, but on January 1 there is some good data from both the evening run and the morning run.
There are now over 1,700 data points in the combined light curve:
