Station Map for the Occultation by (468) Lina at Monday, 2009 September 21 (~ 19:08 UT)
V-Magnitude of target star TYC 6810-00243-1: 9.9 mag
Spectral type: K2
UCAC instrumental “pseudo-R” fit-model magnitude: 8.9 mag (data from UCAC3)
The max duration is expected to be 6.6 sec with a max drop of 4.8 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 10 deg and at azimuth 215 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -15 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 05 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 0.75 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 50 %
Path limits: ~ 41 %
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.
