The Occultation of a 13.9 (combined) star+Bredichina
Sept 13, 2022 at 8:32:40pm
This event happens during Astro 8A, and happened on a clean dry clear night. I and Karl von Ahnen were quite busy with the class and did not have time to try this event. I also was thinking the 15.0 target star would make it impossible with my equipment. However, Kirk Bender tried it from home and got a positive. The sun altitude of -15 was also a possible problem with sky light. Kirk got surprisingly good data, for such a difficult event. Duration of 9 seconds helped with long integration.
