We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of large numbers of ⁸⁷Rb atoms in a magnetic time-averaged orbiting potential (TOP) trap. Over 1.5×10⁹ atoms are captured in the trap and evaporatively cooled to produce condensates containing up to 2×10⁵ atoms. We discuss special considerations relating to the production of large Bose-Einstein condensates in a TOP trap, and present measurements of the condensate fraction for this case.
