The PLANET collaboration updates this list daily (well, almost . . .)
during PLANET observing periods,
using its on-going observations performed at four southern observatories . Where PLANET data is incomplete, supplemental
information from the MACHO Alert Page is also used.
This updated database is provided as an aid to observers. Although
every effort is made to maintain its accuracy, PLANET cannot guarantee
the validity of any of these preliminary data.
