Subject: [BAA Comets] Rare Stellar Occultation Event involving
Centaur comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
Update re. star to be occulted
TONIGHT:
The following measurements indicate a combined
(star+comet) magnitude of 14.56R, and that a total occultation will induce at
least a 2.2 mag drop in brightness as measured in a 3" radius photometric
aperture. Smaller measuring apertures (dependent on seeing and good focus) would
see an even larger decrease in brightness.
