Not likely, you'd need something as powerful as the OWL to get a large enough image so you could watch the planet occult a background star.

Might have to wait awhile till the OWL gets built, if it ever does!!!.

The light curve dipping method and spectroscopy are not the same. There's no embedding of the spectrum in the light curve calculations.
