Scientific paper

Gravitational microlensing is a new technique that allows low-mass exoplanets
to be detected at large distances of ~7kpc. This paper briefly outlines the
principles of the method and describes the observational techniques. It shows
that small (e.g. 0.35m) telescopes with a CCD camera can make unexpectedly
useful observations of these events.
