Re: (ATMoB:Discuss) Re: Occultation by Nephele next Saturday evening




Hi Peter,

Assuming that the weather agrees, and I'm able to get out to observe the occultation, I'd love to provide another measurement.  I'm relatively new to estimating magnitudes visually, but I figure if I can spend some time in the region of the occultation before hand, i'll be able to help out.  I have one issue however.. what is the best way to time the occultation by WWV?  It may be a newbie question.. so please excuse.  I'm an AAVSO wannabe, so this may help prime me to head in that direction. I may pick up a stopwatch to time the length of the occultation. What do you suggest? I want to make sure that my info is as accurate as possible.

Appreciate your time and efforts.. great PDF document. Very helpful.
