Asteroid Occultation Summary Page for "Team Santa Cruz"

2025

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.

Bernard Huynh has become a prolific observer as well. I'm just too overworked to be adding all his observations on my pages, given the steep ramp-up in the number of predictions and the number of observations, especially from automated remote observing from Bernard. He has my great respect! But I will only be able to summarize his observing sometime after the end of the year. Great work, Bernard!
