Station Map for the Occultation by (759) Vinifera at Thursday, 2011 December 01 (~ 23:00 UT)
V-Magnitude of target star TYC 3301-00340-1: 10.3 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 0.9
UCAC instrumental “pseudo-R” fit-model magnitude: 9.9 mag (data from UCAC3)
The max duration is expected to be 3.9 sec with a max drop of 4.2 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 73 deg and at azimuth 295 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -68 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 10 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 0.72 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 52 %
Path limits: ~ 42 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 15 %
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.
