ARCTIC has been a workhorse in the field of exoplanet followup photometry, contributing to several recent discoveries. The instrument’s remarkable diffuser element, which broadens the source PSF into a wide, tophat-like profile, has pushed ground-based photometry to sub-millimagnitude precision. We summarize the instrument’s noise performance, show a fitted transit light curve, and offer our best observing practices for future observations. : {"references": ["Eigm\u00fcller, Phillipp et al. 2019; arXiv:1905.02593v1"]}
