Awesome, Peter Shah certainly takes some nice images! Something for me to aim at.

Right now my imaging goal for 2010 is to detect a transiting Exoplanet. Although I won't be able to directly resolve the planet orbiting it's star, I hope to detect the small reduction in the apparent brightness of the star as the planet blocks out some of the light that reaches my camera. It's a new direction for me and it will present a real challenge. I'll still be taking some long exposure images this year as well.
