... Several composite flatfields (superflats) have been generated from all Eng. 4 flatfield observations. After removing the LED pattern, these superflats where used to identify OM bad pixels. These badpixels are real physical pixels, thus include 8x8 subpixels. ... Significant deviations from the median or average values were spotted and flagged as bad pixels. ... 8x8 subpixel negative deviation in slew flatfield . ... bad CCD pixel . any 8x8 subpixel deviation in slew flatfield . ...

This form calculates which transits of the 1039 known transiting exoplanets are observable from a given location at a given time. Specify a time window, an observing location (either an observatory from the list or choose "Enter latitude/longitude" at the end of the list), and optionally any filters (e.g. minimum transit depth or elevation). The output includes transit time and elevation, and links to further information about each object, including finding charts and airmass plots. ...
