V-Magnitude of target star TYC 3774-00057-1: 11.4 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 1.2
The max duration is expected to be 5.7 sec with a max drop of 4.4 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 67 deg and at azimuth 36 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -50 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude W 05 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 2.30 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 7 %
Path limits: ~ 7 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 4 %
2 sigma lines: ~ 1 %
(Calculation according to Raymond Dusser, E.A.O.N. Circular #10)
