Just starting out...

    Hi- I'm just starting. Marked my first few today. I'm concerned that I'm marking at to "specific" a level, rather than looking for general patterns. The stars I've all marked seem to be "noisy" in a way that could be caused by many small planets in transit OR by pulsating with fewer transits. Of the three or four I've marked, many also seem to have long wave patterns that don't begin to repeat over the four year observations.

    Are my marks terrible on this system?

    Don't be concerned! Just give it your best shot. Many, many people look at each lightcurve, and we find that as long as everyone is doing their best, the researchers get the information they're looking for. So your marks are helping! 😃
