Extrasolar giant planets that "transit" their host stars are rare and val- uable. Recent observations of the atmosphere of the best studied transiting extrasolar planet HD 209458-b demonstrates that detailed study of the phys- ical nature of these planets is possible. The objective of the ongoing tran- sitsearch collaboration is to discover and study additional transiting hot Jupiters with the help of amateur astronomers and students using small tele- scopes and charge coupled device (CCD) imagers. A status report is presented. The reward for contributing quality data could be a flight on NASA's SOFIA 747 aircraft in 2005 and beyond.
