Once again, another very nice event - and it's nowhere to be found on either OW Desktop or OW Cloud. Here's another example of why it pays to run your own searches using Occult4.
Many events now (springtime) are quite low on the horizon (roughly... the star-rich region of Gemini is low in the west, Sagittarius is low to the south-east or south...). Many events are simply "tough", and the short nights don't help.
Low and behold, I do an Occult4 search for May 21st UT and find an event involving a 10.1 mag star, and 43 degrees up (in the SE)!!! Occult 4 gives me an 88% chance. Bingo...... A very nice event. So bright in fact that I set aside my Astrid and took out the QHY174M-GPS which allowed me to capture the event at 50fps and a SNR of 8.6 (still bright at 50fps)!! Nowhere to be found on OW.
Yes, I like OW.... but if you Just rely on it, you are probably missing some nice ones.
