Kevin,
?
I think if you have a reasonable chance of getting acceptable weather in CT, it is likely best not to pursue it.? Thanks.
?
FYI--the weather here for Cullers tonight is not looking good.? We have been alternating between brief clear patches and snow squalls all day, and that looks like it will hang around into the night.? I will cut back to a single station, and possibly just try from home which is out at the edge of the 1-sigma north zone.

Hi Steve,
If there is any chance of observing from CT, I will do that. However, I could make the trek to either observatory. If you want to inquire now, I'm okay with that as long as it is known I may choose local instead.

Right now, apparently the best weather predicts for Eurybates early Monday morning are in Ontario and Western NY.? Out west and further east it doesn't look good apparently.? I am planning to use the 40 cm at Ford Observatory (Ithaca College).? Roxanne is hoping to use the C14 at Kopernik Observatory (Vestal, NY).? There is two other college observatories in the path that we haven't approached (SUNY Geneseo--50 cm and Alfred University--40 cm and more).? If anyone is interested in traveling, I've only been turned down once when I've asked to use a college observatory--always worth asking.

Re: IOTA East Coast campaign - Goncharov
Here's what I get for a path. Should new observations roll in for the rock, the path could shift a bit between now and then. But right now the uncertainty look quite small.
Yes, we should do an occasional Zoom. I'm VERY deep in Astrid matters with Mark right now....... It's an ""adventure"".

Re: IOTA East Coast campaign - Goncharov
Friends,? well.. finding a somewhat common East Coast event sure has sparked a multilayered discussion.?? Which is good, as we all recognize the need to strengthen our member retention efforts along with trying to keep our own knowledge base up to date.? Lets look into having periodic Zoom sessions to help share ideas on the many topics (e.g. Astrid, recruitment, getting a timer to work...) that are downright frustrating to many of our local members.?
For now, the July? (5361) Goncharov event was brought forth as a potential East Coast campaign event.? Yes, it is earlier than our initial Aug / Sept time-frame, but may offer opportunity to more observers.? It is on Steve Preston's predictions, but I can't find it on OWC.?? Is there a way to get a better map interpretation of? Goncharov 's path??? - Roxanne

Re: IOTA East Coast campaign
(119069) KN77 is indeed a TNO (as mentioned in the image name). It is not on anybody's list as best I can tell (Lucky-Star, Buie,...). Issue appears to be that the uncertainty is larger than Earth's diameter. So, the entire world can try I suppose.?
Maybe we should try a couple ourselves anyway. The first one is good for me, (3063) Makhaon on night of 10-May, as it goes over Westport and Bria's location, and is also close to Steve.??
I'm working on other telescopes in my area. This summer I hope to have one to two students at the University of New Haven observing. If s/he get(s) funded, then it's a go. I also have 2 maybe 3 high school students now helping and are ready to graduate to solo observatory observing. That frees me up for mobile observations.? May-August is good timing for me.

Re: IOTA East Coast campaign
Couple of things related to the end of George's email:
?
-- I agree about meeting online, I would be highly in favor of getting together like that whenever we get a topic worth chatting about.? I do have a full Zoom subscription we can use for this.
?
-- Recruiting new members:? I have had modest success with the Martz Observatory (near Jamestown, NY) and Kopernik Observatory (near Binghampton, NY).? The former has my spare QHY camera right now, though not much action with the cloud cover this winter.? I am not sure they'd be willing to buy their own camera, as they may see it as a one trick pony.? The later has a person who bought a QHY back in the fall, but hasn't had a chance to use it yet.? Roxanne and I thought we had a great recruit from last year's NEAF, a person in southern NY with a top-notch backyard observatory.? They bought a QHY immediately after NEAF, but quickly gave up saying there weren't enough events to bother with.? This was before I was able to do my own predictions.? I also was able to get a university observatory in central Virginia to buy a QHY several years back, but last I heard they never used it.? I agree it would be worth having a Zoom call to talk about recruiting and keeping new observers.? There is a pattern here...

Well, I made some effort in looking over what there might be in the way of an event that might be good as an East Coast Campaign subject. In general, I kept the criteria to mags around 14 or under. As I thought, there's little that came up in the way of shadows that pass over several active NEUS observers at once. We are just too few and scattered.
....Or, Roxanne, is your thought that observers should gather together in the same town, set up a picket fence, and observe the event that way? If so, we don't have a whole lot of observers who can "go mobile" so that limits things.
As for the search...........
First I looked for any TNOs (esp. large ones) from mid-March to Nov 1 which pass over a couple of us. Result = 0. Then I searched Jupiter Trojans. A couple possibilities, but nothing great. Then Centaurs - Result = 0.
Then I took Steve Preston's "Best events for Sept List", obtained fresh JPL orbits (which improved the uncertainties a lot), and ran those. A few events showed up.
I bunched all the best together in one file and looked them over again. The attached images are some of the best events I ran across. Some come close to two - maybe 3 - NEUS observers per event. If we select an event, I'm thinking we might realistically get one (maybe two??) chords tops. None seem ideal for a campaign if folks aren't mobile.
Realistically, I don't see an event (or a couple of them) which we could really "rally around". ...And if there were one, well, then there's the weather. What's the chance... Perhaps the best we can do is simply use this NEUS forum as a coordination tool for events as we might run across them -- events where a path might come near someone else on this list - and then alert that observer to see if maybe we can get lucky and then get TWO chords(!).

FYI: I often run across "unknown" events when I do my nightly Occult4 searches - but I usually only know a week in advance (at most). I will alert others if I find such events. 95% of my events are single-chord ones. It would be great to have company.
One thing Steve mentioned... "Has there been any talk of going to a hybrid meeting like SAS and AAVSO?? I find it very disappointing we no longer meet in person..."
Well, maybe we can't rally together around a specific event, but my thought is maybe NEUS members should consider simply meeting from time to time on Zoom (actually I prefer Skype) when we find there's a topic that's brought up on this NEUS forum that would be good for an "in-person" discussion (and we can stray off onto other tangents as desired).

Re: IOTA East Coast campaign
My opinions, in rough order of importance:
?
-- should have some measurement uniqueness and value, and not be, for example, yet another measurement of Vesta.? Find one not previously measured or one measured once or twice before with some interesting feature indicated (shape, satellite)
?
-- brighter than 12.x mag with decent drop, longer than 0.5 sec, higher than 30 degrees, more than an hour after the end of astronomical twilight (allowing me to do an unattended Astrid prepoint plus an attended station, because after all, it is all about me)
?
-- close enough to a few of us to be worth collecting data from home (especially those who'd prefer not to travel).? I am willing to travel.
?
-- not during any big events, such as regional star parties, unless it can be done from the star party
?
-- if possible, passing over university or other public observatories to give us an opportunity to recruit them and try to get them interested in future events.? Roxanne and I have done this before, and are trying to do this for Eurybates next week.
?
It looks like there are at least 3 that check most of these boxes.

Re: IOTA East Coast campaign
Roxanne:
I'm happy to look into this, and I will.
First (obvious) thought is that we are rather few and scattered, so the chance of a single event covering many NEUS observers is slim. In that way several possible events might be good. Ideally maybe there's another event involving a large TNO that might cover much of the Northeast - like (84522) did on Nov 11, '21 or (19521) Chaos on Sept 28, '23. ...Or maybe several events could be identified where the path crosses at least 3 NEUS observers. I'll start looking into this.
There's an especially nice occultation coming up soon on April 8th. Hopefully we'll have clear skies for that ;-)
Later.....

Steve, I sent my Docs to you. Rick Bria?

Couple of quick follow-ups on this.
?
- I think this is my 3rd small (few km in size) asteroid I've measured recently, and all 3 ended up being significantly larger than the predict said.? Are you all seeing that in your observations of the small ones?
- Since home observatory was out at about 3-sigma for this event, I didn't bother setting up to record data on autopilot from there (plus I was short of equipment).? But the combination of this asteroid being larger than they thought and a significant north shift make is look like I would have had a positive from there as well.? Now that they are suggesting collecting data out a few diameters to look for satellites, I guess I'll need to run the observatory for future events like this one.
?
As far as equipment goes, I have a couple of cameras out on loan and my observatory VTI V3 lost its programming (Vince is hopefully going to be able to reprogram it for me).? I may have to dig one of my old video cameras out of retirement once the VTI is back.

Subject: [OccultNEUS] Breakthrough for Me
Yesterday I had no observing on my calendar, but the forecast for the evening was looking to be clear for a change.? There were no good events for my home observatory in either OW nor my own run of Occult.? There also were no "go mobile" events meeting my criteria of near 100% chance, brighter than mag 12, within 20 km, and with a safe possible observing site.? By the afternoon, while it was still 100% cloudy, both the forecast and the satellite images continued to look very promising.? I searched my Occult run again, and found an event that met all my criteria except the mag was only 12.5.? Zero probability for my home observatory, but the centerline was only 3 km south of here.? It was also at a very nice 9:20 PM event time.? I was skeptical that my C5/Astrid combination would be able to get good data on this event, but since it was predicted to be about 0.6 seconds, I could push the exposure time to 0.1 second.
?
I was able to get permission to set-up at our county airport (Grand Canyon Regional--doesn't that have the possibility of causing confusion!) and the county visitor's center--which are less than a km apart.? Decided to put the C5/Astrid at the airport (further from the predicted centerline) and let it run unattended, and set-up my C9.25/Watec 910 at the visitor's center where I'd be.? I knew the C9.25 would be able to get the event, and setting up the Astrid isn't a big time effort if it didn't pan out.
?
Astrid set-up as usual was trivial.? I was on the prepoint location in minutes.? My only worry was focus with the telescope cooling to the low 30's--but I did run a powered dew heater that would help some.? On to the second location, and found that I didn't leave quite enough time for the usual minor issues with setting up and getting on target.? With a bit of sweating, I was able to get on target with 3 minutes to spare.? The target appeared brighter than I expected, and I was able to use 4x (likely could have gone to 2x even)--but is was stunningly clear and the target high at 62 degrees elevation.? Watching live, I saw the blink about 5 seconds early (error in time was listed as 1 second in OW).??
?
Packed up, went back to the airport.? Astrid indicated it was happy, but I powered down without looking at the video there.? Packed that up, and was home by 10:00.
?
Great results!? The C9.25/Watec had a 0.72 second event with a 0.02 second 3-sigma (SNR 6.5).? The Astrid had a 0.80 second event with 0.10 second 3-sigma (SNR 3.7).? Astrid focus was very good.? The 0.2 second offset in time was in the direction I expected due to the almost 1 km difference along the path line between the two sites (but larger than would be accounted for by just that).
?
Anyway, after 17 years of doing this, I finally have a double remote positive.? No way I could have done this (reasonably) without the Astrid.? I really need a second one to start doing some serious damage...

Rick,

I'd really appreciate getting your processing documents, I've just found that neither PyMovie nor PyOTE mesh with how may brain works (or doesn't work, perhaps).? For some reason, it was much easier for me to use Tangra and Occular--they just "make sense" to the way I think (and yep, likely the fact that they have fewer knobs helps as well).? I also had a lot of problems with LiMovie in the old days--that was also a battle to use.??

Congratulations Steve,
I think Astrid is an important tool for IOTA going forward. I hope to use 2 Astrids for remote stations at some point.
Astrid would be my recommendation for newbie¡¯s or perhaps an IOTA supplied GPS flasher.?
(The flash tag app did not work consistently for me, I would not recommend it)
?
I love PyMovie and PyOTE but they both have grown into a complex ?software package. I had to create documents for both that I follow, otherwise, I would surely make mistakes keeping up with all the changes.?

Not complaining, because I know it has features needed by others and/or to analyze specific circumstances with increased accuracy.
