Március 10-én (csütörtök) hajnalban a (209) Dido kisbolygó
(160 km átméroju, 0,105" látszó méretu) fedi a HIP 59732 jelu
7,7 magnitúdós csillagot a Virgoban. A fedés sávja biztosan
átmegy Magyarországon, a bizonytalanság miatt az egész
országban érdemes észlelni. A fedés 2:33-2:35 UT között lesz
látható. Vizuálisan, "csíkhúzós" kamerákkal, CCD-vel, stb.
érdemes próbálkozni. A felvételek kezdetét és végét
0,1-0,2 másodperces pontossággal kell feljegyezni. Részletek és
a csillag keresotérképe a lenti linkeken (ill. az Égabrosz 98.
oldalán az éta Virginistol másfél fokra délnyugatra az
ekliptika mentén).

IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for
(209) Dido / HIP 59732 event on 2005 Mar 10, 02:36 UT
Visible from Central Europe, Britain, Ireland
Summary
-------
On 2005 Mar 10 UT, the 160 km diameter asteroid (209) Dido will occult a
7.7 mag
star in the constellation Virgo for observers along a path across
Central
Europe, Britain, Ireland.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and
the star
will drop by 5.1 mag to 12.7 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at
most
13.2 seconds.
This update is based on UNSO/Flagstaff astrometry for the asteroid
kindly
provided by Ron Stone, historical astrometry from the MPC files (via
AstDys),
astrometry for the asteroid from La Silla, and the following catalogs
for the
star position: .

>
> I have checked the new path data at my mapping software.
> The shift of the path is below the resolution of my maps.
>
> The path is shifting south about 0.7 km perpendicular to the path.
>
> So you still can use my maps.

> One more expedition station:

setting

closer to
