IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for
(34) Circe / TYC 0744-00108-1 on January 20/21, 2004
visible from Asia, Georgia, S Ukraine, Moldavia, N Romania, NE Hungary, Slovakia,
Czechia, Germany, Belgium, S Netherlands, England, Ireland and NE Canada
Summary
In the night of January 20/21, 2004 a faint 11.8 mag star TYC 0744-00108-1 will be occulted by a 118 km asteroid (34) Circe. This update is based on USNO/Flagstaff and TMO astrometry for the asteroid and UCAC2 star position.
The updated path shows no shift with time 0.9 minutes later compared to Edwin Goffin's nominal prediction.
Updated path runs over Asia ~21:34 to 21:40 UT, Georgia ~21:40.5 UT, S Ukraine ~21:42.0 UT, Moldavia ~21:42.9 UT, N Romania ~21:43.4 UT, NE Hungary ~21:44.0 UT, Slovakia ~21:44.4 UT, Czechia ~21:44.9 UT, Germany ~21:45.6 UT, Belgium and S Netherlands ~21:46.2 UT, England ~21:47.0 UT, Ireland ~21:47.7 UT and NE Canada 21:52.5 UT. Please check the path chart for details.
Be aware that GSC gives two quite different (approximately V) mag values - 11.89 and 12.95 which may indicate some problems with this star. Be prepared that the drop may be smaller than expected and beyond visual possibilities. Drift scan or video is strongly recommended.
Here is current station list for European cities.
Clear sky and good luck !!!

Finding charts (prepared in GUIDE8):
* occulted star is in center - labeled with cross
* labeled stars have indicated SAO numbers
* square box shows 30' field in all wider field charts
* remarks:
Target star is in north Orion, about 3.6 degrees southwest of 2.0 mag star gamma Geminorum = SAO 95912.
!!! 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.
