EBA, SPS : CCD drift-scan; BOL was effectively in the predicted shadow path; the blink occurred nearly at the predicted appulse time for his location and showed sharp disappearance and reappearance. Nevertheless it remains uncertain and is maybe due to various seeing conditions, considering the faintness of the star.

 

2006.01.04 : (33) Polyhymnia  /  TYC 1897-00304-1               DMK   IMV    TVH

Target star is double (magnitudes : ~ 11.2 and ~ 11.8, companion “B” at 5.6",  PA= 251°. Nevertheless  predictions were good because of the close agreement of the position of the target
