[en] This is the story of the Large Programme 666, dedicated to discover sub-stellar objects (extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs), and to measure their masses, radii, and mean densities. We hunt selected OGLE transit candidates using spectroscopy and photometry in the ‘twilight zone’, stretching the limits of what is nowadays possible with the VLT.
