Scientific paper

We describe WHAT, a small-aperture short focal length automated telescope with an 8.2 deg X 8.2 deg field of view, located at the Wise Observatory. The system is aimed at searching for transiting extrasolar planets and variable stars. Preliminary results of 3892 exposures of a single field are presented, where the telescope achieved already a precision of a few mmag for the brightest objects. Additional information can be found at http://wise-obs.tau.ac.il/~what .
