GAIA Alerts
Working on GAIA Photometric Alerts
Within the GAIA Science Alert project (GSA) teams a searching for transient events in the data of GAIA.
A transient event is anything in the sky which appear, changes or disapears. There is a website available which publishs transient alerts in real time: http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts/
Within this section I like to show up with some photometric observation I've performed during the last time. This page will be update as more measurements are available.

GAIA Alert: GAIA16blg Image taken June 16th, 2017 00:23:00 UT using the COAST Telescope @ Tenerife facilitated by the The Open University imaging details on the enlarge image section. This just a single image out of B,V,R Johnson Filter set. 180s. As I'm gathering more images I'll combine them - I would espect that the quality of the image is going to improve with the number of combined images.

In addition as I'm gathering more images, I setup a long term light curve of this object for potential transient events as like below in two or more colors. The grafs will be updated as more data point are available.
