Summary of asteroidal occultations for 2024
General overview of my observations of asteroid occultations in 2024.
The occultation of a star by asteroid Eucharis - 03 November 2024
The series of positive occultations continues. The weather favored me with an occultation of the asteroid Eucharis.
The occultation of a star by asteroid 2000 AM59 - 10 November 2024
A bright star in a good position and a clear sky allowed for an observation with a short exposure time. This allowed for the recording of diffraction phenomena. Today I have observed the occultation of a star by asteroid 2000 AM59 with an estimated diameter of about 4.6 km.
The occultation of a star by asteroid Tamara - 02 November 2024
I am doing well these days. Yesterday three positive occultations during one night, today another - an asteroid with a pretty female name Tamara.
The occultation of a star by asteroid Blixen - 01 November 2024
I am doing really well today. This is already the third positive occultation during this night - asteroid Blixen with a diameter of 23 km. The light curve shows a beautiful and clear drop - like from a textbook.
The occultation of a star by asteroid Viv - 01 November 2024
So today, the second successful observation. The occultation of asteroid Viv (diameter around 5 km) lasted for half a second.
The occultation of a star by asteroid Palatia - 01 November 2024
Clear skies, promising predictions of occultations - and success did not take long. A faint star and an observation at the edge of my technical capabilities. But it was possible to record an occultation by asteroid Palatia (diameter approx. 84 km).
