## Abstract

We present photometric transit observations of the exoplanet WASP-2b using the MTM-500 telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory of RAS. A brief history of the discovery of the exoplanet WASP-2b and its main characteristics are considered. Observations and the processing procedure are described. The analysis of the obtained results was carried out and compared with information from the ETD and NASA Exoplanet Archive databases. The photometry data of the star WASP-2 and the comparison star GSC 0052201406 are given in the supplementary table.
