Abstract
This project is an assessment of the effectiveness an 8 inch
telescope and a mirrorless camera to obtain photometric data and
the plausibility of using the equipment available to physics students
at the University of Tampa for measuring variable star and transiting
exoplanet light curves. Although the initial goals of this project were
not realized, we were able to use the telescope for astrophotography.
