SUMMARY:The SuperWASP follow-up telescope
DESCRIPTION:The SuperWASP follow-up telescope\nDr. Christopher Watson\n\nSu
 perWASP is the UK's leading extra-solar planet detection program, having d
 etected 22 of the 52 transiting planets known to date. This stems from the
  instruments ability to image ~500 square degrees every 60sec down to 16th
  mag (equivalent to the whole visible sky every 20 minutes). Recent experi
 ments have shown that the data from SuperWASP can be reduced with 1 min of
  it being obtained and with further software development we will be able t
 o identify transient sources within minutes of their observation. Detailed
  analysis of SuperWASP-N data has shown many populations of transient obje
 cts, including rapidly variable objects, which seem to correspond to extre
 mely faint objects in the Sloan survey. Spectroscopy of these objects has 
 proved challenging.
