WASP-1b transit pictures were taken with SBIG ST-8XME CCD -camera and R -filter. The exposures were 90 s per picture and the time used for transit photographing was 7 hours. The transit last about three hours as predicted and when predicted. Weather was not as ideal as wanted. There were some clouds in the sky. Due these clouds there is a cap in the lightcurve (second cap in the lightcurve). First cap is due the pier flip of the Paramount ME -mount. The temperature was -3 celcius. The comparison stars that were used to make the measurements were GSC265-054 (C1) and GSC2265-126 (C2).
