Asteroid Occultation Summary Page for "Team Santa Cruz"

2024

Bright green = #1baa05 = positive occultation successfully recorded
Dark green  = #037E0E = Miss successfully recorded Miss  
Red              = #de0205 = equip or operator error/failures
Purple          = #A636F0 = Noble Effort: purple heart (wounded in battle) recipient! - successful set up and no mistakes, but star just too faint for data, or clouded out at last minute
black            = Either no attempt made, or partial efforts (like making my planning pages, etc) but clouded out before set up. But, I only record these here if there is another "Team Santa Cruz" observer who did set up; otherwise it's just one of many that are cancelled out for various reasons; making a planning page is not sufficient effort to warrant making a record of it here.
