This is a long 6.8 s event, so although the target is faint, we should have a good chance at maping the shape well, and even seeing a moonlet if one exists. Alt=53, Az=80

Kirk observed from home, successfully, but could not judge any fading. I got a recording, clear ~4-5 s long significant dimming as predicted. Visual on monitor. Not reduced
I set up at the Twin Gates mtn bike crossing, on the east side. Perfect clear clean skies, but a bit of a breeze did blur the stars from time to time but not during the occultation. I may have to use dynamic mask for PyMovie. I saw a clear ~4-5s event at 16x from my external monitor.
Got a recording at 16x. Did look like it dimmed.
I got a 4.2 sec event for Luthera, 16x from home.

Got a recording at 8x. Hard to tell what happened, too faint. Invisible on playback. No data
