After 3.2 years this primary transit was "on time" (i.e., 1.26 ± 0.22 minutes early, using the ephemeris adopted in 2013; the last primary transit was also 1.2 minutes early, on 2012.12.12). The depth is also the same (530.0 ± 2.3 vs. 528.7 ± 1.7 mmag on 2012.12.12). However, the starspots seem to have changed because the OOT slope is different from 3.2 years ago.

oot Disregard the "pyramid shaped" feature at 9.7 hrs; it's due to reflections within the telescope (possibly caused by the nearby moon).
