Eukrate Update Map


On 2004 Jun 02 UT, the 134 km diameter asteroid (247) Eukrate will occult a 11.3 mag star in the constellation Lupus for observers along a path across New Zealand, Australia.

In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 2.2 mag to 13.3 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 9.2 seconds.

This update is based on UNSO/Flagstaff astrometry for the asteroid kindly provided by Ron Stone, historical astrometry from the MPC files (via AstDys), and the following catalogs for the star position: UCAC.

Additional details of this and other events are available at Steve Preston's website at http://www.asteroidoccultation.com/
