This is the 5th and final version of this list, made 2007 Jan. 25 at 21h UT. If you are not in the list below and are mobile, please try to select a distance that is about halfway between two occupied lines in the list - don't consider the ? lines as occupied, they have not been confirmed and nobody will probably observe from them, but if possible, avoid them by 1 or 2 km. If you are on the IOTAoccultations e-group, you could e-mail your intentions, and copy me on that message at my work e-mail, david.dunham@jhuapl.edu , and then many of the observers would know your line, and if they have to move for any reason, could avoid it. From the 4th update, this updates to Paul Maley's plans in Utah (he's working with a few observers there - they may have to go to higher-elevation sites to get above thick smog). From the 3rd update, this adds some more observers who have reported in during the last several hours. In Omaha, Paul Maley says he must observe at +21 km, so I've changed that, but the weather forecast is now not the best there (maybe o.k.) so he might go somewhere else, to be included in the next update. I've moved IOTA-west #3 south 2 km to -26 to better center in a gap. A few other modifications have been made to fit better with the current distribution. Please help us plan the coverage for this important occultation; we don't want to duplicate your observation by spreading out across the predicted path in an organized way. Below is an abbreviated version of the station list given on Derek Breit's Web site at http://www.poyntsource.com/New/index.htm (use the back arrow to get to the previous page, where there are a couple of hot links to this site with the full list). If your station is not in this list, go to Derek Breit's Web site to see if it's there; if it isn't there, either, send an email message to me and to Derek at breit_ideas@hotmail.com. I've marked stations in the space between the distance (from S. Preston's predicted central line, in km) and the event probability columns with * (visual) or V (video or CCD) if the observer has said that they will try to observe the event. An m (visual) or M (video) indicates a mobile observer. X indicates a mobile video observer who wants to use a specific site and does not want to move from this position unless absolutely necessary. A W means that the observer plans to try, but the current weather forecast is poor. A ? indicates no confirmation, but it would be useful if someone could observe there. A blank (no mark) is a station where no observation will probably be made, but if someone does plan to observe there, please let me know; I'll remove most of them in future updates. Let me know if you plan to observe; I'll post updated versions of this each day up to Thursday. Observers are encouraged to observe from two minutes before to two minutes after the predicted time for their location. We will not try to coordinate coverage more than 1-sigma north of the northern limit or more than 1-sigma south of the southern limit, that is, for observers more than 120 km from the predicted central line, but I will include some of them in the list, anyway. The Sun will be far below the horizon for all observers, so its altitude is not given. I give the star altitude only because it is so high, as much as 74 deg. for observers on the Pacific coast, so they might have some trouble with fork mounts, and/or may want to use finder scopes with diagonal eyepiece holders. The list on Derek Breit's Web site includes approximate coordinates of the stations, given only to the nearest 5' for reasons of privacy, but more accurate coordinates, to 0.1' when available, were used for the distance and other calculations. We are keeping the distances as calculated from the Jan. 12th prediction since it's too difficult to update this list, with all its annotations and editing. But I've moved the limits to reflect the current best estimate, according to Steve Preston's Jan. 23rd update.
