I observed from a carpark at Beacon Hill Hillfort just off the A34 South of Newbury. It was close to the mid-shadow line. Transparency was poor with thin cloud moving through but it was clear enough to see the pole star and the major constellations.
Equipped with a Vixen Polarie and WAT-910HX + 135mm F2.8 lens attached, i was able to find the target by star hopping. To do this I compared SkyMapPro and the video display. The occultation itself was not seen live on the monitor. When i got home, I analysed the AVI recording. There is a small brief dip at the predicted time. No fade was recorded.
It was more of challenge than i had expected, and i was pleased that the 50 mile drive from home resulted with a successful recording although no clear event.
Hi Tim
Fine result.
I used to record asteroid occultations visually years ago but would like to try with a camera.
I have a Wat-908 (I think) somewhere and guess that it can be used.
Could you give some details of your setup and software?
