From here near SPOC, 32 Lynx disappeared and reappeared right on schedule. Star started to fade at 09:46:51.04396 UT First frame of "totality" 09:46:51.05397 UT Last frame of "totality" 09:47:05.03533 UT Star back to full bright at 09:47:05.04534 UT Although scientifically valuable, the event was not as visually impressive as those of grazing lunar occultations but seeing the star wink out so quickly and completely caught me by surprise. All-in- all, fun stuff on a frosty morning. Video: http://utahastro.info/temp/palma/PALMA26JAN2007.AVI (3.1 MB) http://utahastro.info/temp/palma/PALMA26JAN2007.MOV (4.2 MB) pw
