All Graze Predictions created using Dave Herald's OCCULT v.4 software.


Interactive Maps of Event Paths
 Profiles provided with Grazing Occultations

Included Time File gives times along the graze path.
Profiles are generated for only one location along the Graze Path.
  Email me for Profiles for other longitude positions along the path.
Use the Offsets on the maps to adjust location based on the Profile.

At the links below, you will be directed to Google Maps of the event.  
This is an interactive map allowing you to zoom in on your location and find road intersections

at which observing stations can be located.
You can also find links to the lunar profiles for each event to help in station locations.

I appreciate the help of Derek Breit and Kiwi Geoff Hitchcox in helping me get these pages published.
 

 

 

For the remaining events in February, additional details can be found using Occult4

OR by emailing Brad Timerson directly for specific times and profiles. 

Be SURE to include expected observing site location.
