V-Magnitude of target star TYC 4992-00231-1: 11.7 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 0.2
The max duration is expected to be 6.5 sec with a max drop of 1.0 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 41 deg and at azimuth 160 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -27 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude 0 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 1.74 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 23 %
Path limits: ~ 22 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 10 %
2 sigma lines: ~ 1 %
(Calculation according to Raymond Dusser, E.A.O.N. Circular #10)
