Using UND's TOAST observatory to search for extrasolar planets using the transit method and pinpointing the optical afterglows associated with Gamma-ray Bursts in conjunction with NASA's SWIFT satellite. Refining the current system to reduce systematic errors and reduce the detection margin. Developing a new system, namely the CRUST observatory, to overcome the limitations of the current operation. A positive detection of a known transiting planet TrES-1 proved the viability of the system to continue to detect known and unknown extrasolar transiting planets. Small telescope projects, like this one, thus have the potential to continue to make contributions to observations of transiting extrasolar planets. This research was made possible by the North Dakota EPSCoR-AURA Program.
