This transit is interesting in that it's not the planet transiting the star but a possible massive ring system or proto-moon accretion disk around a super Jupiter mass planet that itself does not transit.  Transit lasts approx. 25 days and next predicted eclipse is Sept. 9-30 2017.  High resolution time series photometry might be recommended to detect possible gaps or larger objects in the disk.
