Misa Occultation - Aug 9, 2004

Observer: Richard Nolthenius

Site: Locatelli Meadow roadside, Bonny Doon: Long=122 11.55, Lat=37 08.56' Elev=2200 ft.

Telescope: 10" LX200 with 22mm Nagler eyepiece

Timing method: voice/WWV visually

The story: Snafu's with wiring made for a late decision to go visual. I don't have an accurate time for the beginning of observation, but it was roughly 8:02:30. It was almost certainly before 8:03:00. The predicted event time was 8:03:06. I watched until 8:07:00UT. There were no events longer than 0.3 seconds.

Result: A successfully observed miss.
