Station Map for the Occultation by (105) Atemis at Tuesday, 2008 December 30 (~19:12 UT)
Magnitude of target star 2UCAC 28151691: 12.0 mag
The max duration is expected to be 8.7 sec with a max drop of 1.2 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 14 deg and at azimuth 124 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -42 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 20 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 1.06 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 36 %
Path limits: ~ 33 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 13 %
2 sigma lines: ~ 1 %
(Calculation according to Raymond Dusser, E.A.O.N. Circular #10)
PLEASE REMEMBER: Predictions are sometimes wrong. Please observe even with a small probability.
