Station Map for the Occultation by (530) Turandot at Monday, 2010 November 22 (~ 05:10 UT)

TRANS-ATLANTIC EVENT!
This occultation will be visible in Canada and NW U.S.A. too.

Magnitude of target star 2UCAC 37148522: 11.3 mag
UCAC instrumental “pseudo-R” fit-model magnitude: 11.5 mag (data from UCAC3)

The max duration is expected to be 9.9 sec with a max drop of 3.4 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 38 deg and at azimuth 245 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -18 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 05 deg)

There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of  ± 0.46 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:

Centre line: ~  72 %
Path limits: ~  48 %
1 sigma lines:  ~ 16 %
2 sigma lines: ~ 2 %

(Calculation according to Raymond Dusser, E.A.O.N. Circular #10)

PLEASE REMEMBER: Predictions are sometimes wrong. Please observe even with a small probability.
Let other observers know about you observing plans: Announce you station with OccultWatcher !

NORTH and SOUTH

Magnitude of target star 2UCAC 34032818: 12.0 mag
UCAC instrumental “pseudo-R” fit-model magnitude:12.3 mag (data from UCAC3)

Please notice:
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 0.8 mag to 12.1 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid).

The max duration is expected to be 25.6 sec with a max drop of 0.8 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 38 deg and at azimuth 162 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -23 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 15 deg)
