OCCULTATION BY TITAN
Numerous observers report successful observation of this event and
it is impossible to publish individual results here. Please send
written reports to Chris Lord, Planetary Editor of TA with a copy
to A.J.Hollis, Ansteys Lea, Clay Lane, Marton, Winsford, Cheshire,
CW7 2QE who is collating data for the BAA.
It is apparent the track shifted north from the second prediction
by Wasserman giving a very long duration event ( in excess of 4
minutes) for Europe. The occultation by Titan's atmosphere has
yielded times of about 30-45 sec on each side but the most
significant event was a definite central flash apparently lasting
2-4 seconds and giving an increase of about 1.5 magnitudes. This
has been confirmed by video recordings which are now being
analysed.
