The Occultation of a 9.1 by the TNO Object 02KY14

Feb 18, 2020

The path for this is narrow, 30-70km wide, and the rank is very low, but we'll give it a try as it's at a convenient time and a bright star. The Path is nominally expected in Southern California or Southern Arizona. The event is at 10:21:24 but coule be a minute early or late I suppose.

I didn't learn of this event until just a couple hours beforehand. I rushed to make charts, and after a lotta miles on the bike and trail running... I was just too tired to think straight, and made the Pacific time correction to DAYLIGHT SAVINGS time, not standard time. I got set up, found the target (not 9.1 like advertised but more like 11th) and realized on looking at the UT time on the camcorder, that the event was an hour earlier. Glad I didn't invest any more time than I already had. Bonehead mistake!
