Descripción
We report the detection of the first two microlensing candidates from the Wendelstein Calar Alto Pixellensing Project (WeCAPP). Both are detected with a high signal-to-noise ratio and were filtered out from 4.5 million pixel light curves using a variety of selection criteria. Here we only consider well-sampled events with timescales of 1 day
