This event is decent rank, narrow path through the Santa Cruz Mtns. Not likely visible from Santa Cruz proper. But BD and Rodeo Gulch look good. The event only lasts 0.5 seconds! So try to use integration sparingly. 37 altitude

I got a good light curve from the top of Rodeo Gulch. Alas, a miss, despite the high rank. Kirk, also a miss from Sunlit Lane in Bonny Doon. Karl also got a recording but will need to be looked at by me in PyMovie, given the short duration of any events.
Kirk's PyOTE light curve. At occultation, the light should have gone to zero for a few consecutive integrations. No occultation is evident. A miss, reported to IOTA on 3/25/23. |
My composite PyMovie light curve. Green is the target. |
Target star light curve. At left side, a bumped moment far too early to be the occultation. At the occultation time (vertical yellow bar in the middle), no event is evident. |
My recording in PyMovie, zoomed in on the occultation time (center). No occultation. Level should have dropped to zero. |
The tracking star #1 also shows the "bump event" at the same frame as the fainter more sensitive target star. Otherwise, just normal low noise |
Reduced by RN in PyMovie 3.7.3 . He had a miss too. Given the 32x setting, the miss confidence isn't great, but it would have been detected if it had been of the predicted duration of 0.5 seconds, or even 0.3 seconds. Less than that, it could have been missed.
