APL Astronomy Club meeting today - New 2008 Jan. 16

The Power Point file for my talk on observing occultations, and links to the videos that I showed, are given

The file for the presentation that I gave on observing occultations 
at today's meeting of the Astronomy Club of the Applied Physics Lab.  
is here (14.0 megabytes).  I showed videos of the occultation of a star whose close 
duplicity was discovered during the occultation by the asteroid 
(99) Dike on 2005 December 1 recorded in MD & VA that you can read 
about and see here, and about the spectacular graze of another close 
double star, mu Arietis, observed in Texas in June.  Another good 
asteroidal occultation video that I didn't have time to show was the 
asteroidal grazing occultation of a 6.7-mag. star by the asteroid 
(219) Thusnelda that I recorded last December here.
