NOTES :

    - When an observation was made by several observers, they are listed in alphabetic order.

    - Coordinates of several observatories (Teide, Pic du Midi, Haute Provence, Bertrand THOORIS...) have been improved by recent GPS measurements (WGS84). Pic du Midi 1050mm reflector is 2865m asl.

    HIP 39740 is the primary component of the double star HEI 473. Its

separation was measured on Pic du Midi as 2.00" in PA=210.1 deg and dmag=2.1 (in red light) on the 1.05m telescope with 18m focal length.

(IOTA page mentions also LECACHEUX as observer which is impossible,

Jean LECACHEUX being observing from another place 10km at ENE afar)

"The star was just visible near (29) at appulse time"

No visual observation with the finder L160mm was made. Jan Manek's comment: event expected drop only 0.2 mag based on magnitude difference of * & (29) as derived by J. Lecacheux from his observations.
