The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) project is a small-aperture transit survey of bright stars. The project has completed commissioning runs searching for transits in the Hyades and Praesepe, and is well into a multi-year survey of a large portion of the Northern Hemisphere. Here we describe the setup of the telescope and discuss the early data.
