Station Map for the Occultation by (366) Vincentina at Saturday, 2009 May 09 (~ 20:09 UT)
V-Magnitude of target star TYC 1931-01394-1: 11.8 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 0.6
The UCAC2 gives a “pseudo-R magnitude” of 11.4 mag
The max duration is expected to be 3.8 sec with a max drop of 3.0 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 33 deg and at azimuth 271 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -16 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 20 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 0.64 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 56 %
Path limits: ~ 44 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 15 %
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.
