Just woke up from a crazy #night observing #HIP41378 with so many instruments. Quick updated status (from what I just red):
- photometry: so far it seems only @hubble86 got a good weather during the expected ingress 🤞
- spectroscopy: data from #CARMENES / #CalarAlto, #HARPS-N / #TNG & #ESPRESSO / #ESO are in my mailbox. ✅No news yet from the US-based observatories (and India who haven't started observing yet).
We are still IN TRANSIT.

Good news ! after some fear because of strong wind, @JuliaVSeidel, is currently observing #HIP41378 with #ESPRESSO / #ESO-#VLT. Below is the view of the star (in orange) in the VLT focal plane entering the fiber feeding the light to the spectrograph.
I also got good news from #CalarAlto where they managed to observe the target under very good and stable #conditions.
I am not aware of a transit detection in photometry over Europe yet. Weather wasn't great for photometry.

The night is getting to its end over #Europe. Here is the status of the #HIP41378 f campaign so far:
- #HauteProvence observatory: we got ONE (likely out-of-transit) spectrum through a hole in the clouds
- #CalarAlto: all-sky camera showed stars all the night. I've not heard back from the observatory yet, but it looks good
- #LaPalma had lot of cirrus passing. Likely a killer for photometry, but OK for spectroscopy. 🤞Now, it's time for #ESO to start the show !

Update on the campaign to observe the #transit of #HIP41378 f on Nov. 12. We are one day before !!!
