OCCULTATION BY (237) COELESTINA:
1999 JULY 10
Prediction using OCCULT software
Prediction using GUIDE 6 software
This is a new event spotted by Michael Mattiazzo in Australia using GUIDE 7. The nominally predicted path is very favourable for New Zealand, although there might be substantial errors on the track as the star is a GSC star. Nevertheless, New Zealand observers are encouraged to attempt the event. Photometric observations are particularly requested.
