Transit of Star PDS110.(In September 2017)

  • johnfairweather by johnfairweather

    I understand from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDS_110) and elsewhere, that there is due to be a transit of PDS110 in September 2017, I wonder if the data will appear here?

    I ran the RA/Dec (80.87921 -1.07325) through the K2 field of view utility program, and unfortunately this target does not seem to be visible by Kepler which we mostly work with here. But other astronomers have been alerted to observe (see below).
