                        IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for
                 (772) Tanete / TYC 2526-00740-1 on December 5/6, 2002
               visible from Haiti, Norway, Sweden, Finland and NW Russia
    
    Summary 

    In the morning of night of December 5/6, 2002 a faint 11.7 mag star TYC 2526-00740-1 will be occulted by a 123 km asteroid (772) Naema. This update is based on USNO/Flagstaff astrometry for the asteroid and recent UCAC star position.

    The updated path shows ~2 path width north shift with time 0.3 minutes later compared to Edwin Goffin's nominal prediction.

    Updated path runs over Haiti ~5:57 UT, mid-south Norway ~6:01.7 UT, mid-north Sweden ~6:02.2 UT, middle Finland ~6:02.5 UT and NW Russia under morning twilight ~6:03 UT. Please check the path chart for details.

    Clear sky and good luck !!!

        !!! IMPORTANT !!!
        Purple stars in identification chart are so called 'non-star' objects in GSC; in dense fields
        the 'non-stars' are often real stars or blends of close pairs. Be careful about this.
