WHAT is a small-aperture short focal length automated telescope with an 8.2° × 8.2° field of view, located at the Wise Observatory, Israel. The system is similar to the HATNet telescopes and is aimed at searching for transiting extrasolar planets and variable objects. Operational since 2004, WHAT has accumulated ~100000 exposures of several fields and was part of the discovery of the transiting planet HD147506b. Further description of WHAT can be found at: http://wise-obs.tau.ac.il/~what.
