Station Map for the Occultation by (1343) Nicole at Sunday, 2009 February 01 (~ 04:02 UT)

V-Magnitude of target star TYC 0864-00817-1: 10.3 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 1.1
The UCAC2 gives a „pseudo-R magnitude“ of  10.0 mag

The max duration is expected to be 5.3 sec with a max drop of  5.1 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 39 deg and at azimuth 226 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -21 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 19 deg 50 min)

There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of  ±  1.57 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:

Centre line: ~  25 %
Path limits: ~  24 %
1 sigma lines:  ~ 11 %
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.
