HAT-P12-b captured on the night of June 15, 2010, from the UFObservatory, Portugal, under a Full Moon and hazy skies.

This capture was the first real test of the complete robotic system that’s been under construction and has just become operational at UFObservatory, a robotic multi-pier observatory. The session was done remotely (but just for a few dozen meters) by me and my friend João Gregório, that happens to be the first amateur to produce a light curve for this exoplanet. Another friend was capturing pretty pictures from his living room, more than 100Km away.
