    The satellite should pass here in Denmark at 1:45 Danish summer time (GMT+2) but it was not visible. Maybe the sail did not deploy as planned.

    I saw this occultation from my home in Denmark with a friend, and we had to move the telescope around in the garden to find at spot where we could see Saturn. The planet was very low and just over the roof of the next bulding which emitted a lot of heat and made turbulence.

    We timed the occultation with my wrist watch and it began about 0h 40m and ended 0h 45m on the 4th of July Danish summer time. (GMT +2)

    We did not report it to anyone, but we had a great time.

    I suppose Guide is using the same data as your ephemeris. The Guide position at 27. March 0.00 is off by 10 minutes in RA and 55′ in Dec. compared to your figures. No problem if the comet was mag 9 (and the ephemeris was valid).

    Thank you. It seems to be at bit more difficult than the promised mag. 9 in Guide 9.

    Hello Martin

    Thank you. It was in fact Guide 9 that brought the comet to my attention.

    I would like to know where to look for it if an ephemeris could be made.

    Regards
    Lars
