Description
We present ground-based optical observations of the 2009 September and
2010 January transits of HD 80606b. Based on three partial light curves
of the 2009 September event, we derive a midtransit time of
Tc [HJD] = 2455099.196 ± 0.026, which is about
1σ away from the previously predicted time. We observed the 2010
January event from nine different locations, with most phases of the
transit being observed by at least three different teams. We determine a
midtransit time of Tc [HJD] = 2455210.6502 ± 0.0064,
which is within 1.3σ of the time derived from a Spitzer
observation of the same event.

This project consists of two parts, each differentiated but both complementary: morphology and dynamics. Detailed study of the morphology of the Milky Way pretends to provide a data base for the stellar distribution in the most remote and heavily obscured regions of our Galaxy, through the development of semiempirical models based on the
