Map for india for 29th November event

Map for india for 30th November event

Two good asteroidal occultations coming up last week of Novembe

Two good asteroidal occultations coming up last week of November. Those with moderate sized telescope can observe the event.  These events have good probability of above Rank 60, so it means that its surely a good shot. 29th Nov one is going quite close to Pune and 30th one is going quite close to delhi. Let's observe and gather data!


On 2011 Nov 29 13:36 UT or 19:06 IST, the 38 km diameter asteroid (193) Ambrosia will occult a 7.3
mag star in the constellation Capricornus for observers along a path across
India. In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star
will drop by 7.7 mag to 15.0 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 1.3
seconds.


On 2011 Nov 30, 14:53 UT or 20:23 IST, the 33 km diameter asteroid (1283) Komsomolia will occult a
6.8 mag star in the constellation Aquarius for observers along a path across
China, India, Arabia. In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star
will drop by 8.5 mag to 15.3 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 1.9
seconds.

Details will soon be updated.
