Wide Field Images Stellar Photometry

Transit photometry has become the leading method for detecting exoplanets across both space-based and ground-based programs. Amateur astronomers have long played a crucial role in various astronomical studies, especially in tracking variable stars. With improvements in consumer digital cameras, there are now exciting new opportunities for their involvement in exoplanet transit detection. To enable this, a dedicated pipeline capable of performing high-precision photometry with DSLR cameras is necessary. Our team is currently developing such a pipeline, known as WISP (Widefield Images Stellar Photometry). WISP is designed to automatically extract precise photometric data from amateur observations with minimal user input. We will introduce the current version of the software, its user-friendly interface, and highlight recent results using data from our collaborators at Project PANOPTES.
