During 2004, SuperWASP-North (La Palma) observed 6.7 million stars of V=8-15 for up to 5 
months with the aim of identifying new bright transiting extra-solar planets. In the first 
year of operation, with five 10cm telescopes, several terabytes of data were collected. 
Hence, an automated but thorough approach to data reduction and transit detection was 
required. From 2006, a full complement of 16 cameras (at SuperWASP-North and SuperWASP-South 
(SAAO)) is in use, tripling the data flow. We will discuss the adapted BLS transit-detection 
algorithm and the filtering procedure we have developed to highlight genuine transiting 
exoplanets and reject both data artefacts and astrophysical false positives as far as 
possible. We will also outline the photometric and spectroscopic follow up procedure for the 
high priority candidates passing this filtering stage, and provide details of the latest 
results. Further details of the first 2 planets to emerge from the survey, WASP-1b and 
WASP-2b will be discussed following data from recent observations.
