RE: Mike's TN: Planetary Transits

["Albertson, Chris" <CAlbertson@primeadvantage.com>]

Mike,

I think the "problem", if it is a problem.  Is that
your statistics were based on N transits seen for
1000 stars monitored.  I think those 1000 stars were
selected based on some cataloged attributes and were not
just any 1000 stars that happened to be in some random
frame.

Now if you point a TASS Mk IV up at the sky you are
essentially picking stars at random.  Most will not have
the attributes of the selected 1000 stars and the (chance
of seeing a transit)/star will be less.  No big deal.
We will look at a million stars.
