We also have divergent irons in the fire to take a look at HD 80606, again, in a more pan-spectral fashion, and we are working up our results on the red dwarf GL 876, last reported in the visual, this time in the 3 and 7 mm bands (using the venerable VLA and ATCA instruments in 2005)… We were looking for debris and dust back then… But that’s not really GEMSS…. Promise, we’ll get relevant GEMSS thoughts out there soon! I also hear Dave Charbonneau is looking to begin a .3-m network, red dwarf search, too, as are the XO guys - good news! Also some great feedback from Chile…. Meanwhile, seems to be a good thread going on about GEMSS over at Centauri Dreams! Great to see the discussion!

In the Winter, however, when the weather is clear, they’ll have the opportunity to make long-duration time-series photometric observations of stars near the polar cap. For example, they’ll be in awesome position to snag oklo.org favorite HD 80606 (+50 deg declination) during its Dec. 26, 2006 transit opportunity.
