[Chaos-l] occultation of

[Allen Davis]

Interesting....I think the author of the article in ST got the times wrong
in his article.  You are correct Tony in your time range....but he
subtracted 5 hours from UT instead of 4...........here is a link with
correct times for Midatlantic....to a just a certain level of accuracy.

It looks like for Raleigh Durham the time will be about 1115pm EDT.  That
matches your time, but not the articles.  I always have to think about this.


I thought I might try to get out and see it.  allen

A tripple star in Sagittarius will wink out between 9:58pm and 11:15pm
tomorrow night.  If the weather is clear enough we might even see it
dim multiple times.

P.S. I've already pointed out to the fine folks at
lunar-occultations.com that Raleigh Durham is in NC not WV.
