Speaking of Transits

... the AAVSO has issued a transit watch alert for Gliese 436. The AAVSO more traditionally watches for Nova or variable stars, but we are now in an era when amateurs can do stellar photometry so precisely that they can monitor extrasolar transits. Amateurs have been instrumental in confirming some recent professional transit observations. Have a look at Transit.org if you are interested in being a transit watcher.
