KELT-South Wiki Collaboration and Information Site

This is the central website for sharing information about the KELT South telescope.  The KELT South project consists of an automated telescope that is being installed at the SAAO observing site in Sutherland, South Africa in 2008. The purpose of the project is to discover transiting extrasolar planets around stars in the brightness range of 8 < V < 10 mag, although the observations should yield a great deal of additional science.  If you are new to this website and want an introduction to the KELT-S telescope, read About KELT-South.
