Straight through version of the Q70 chart, ie expanded view of what it will look like on the Watec chip, in case you can't ID the star field.
Kirk and I both got good positives around 13 sec long, under clear skies. Karl was out of town.
I observed from the base of the driveway under clear skies, but some light cirrus may have interferred, as seems evident on the light curves. Got a solid event 13.44 seconds long. Used the OccBox #3 PAL setup, used TME apertures in PyMovie except for the sky aperture (static circular). I had tracking star #1 as the target, since the occulted target was still quite easy to track on. I had it on 8x setting. Probably could have done well with 4x but the lights in the area made it harder to judge whether the target was bright enough at 4x, and since it lasted 13s 8x seemed adequate resolution.
