Subject: Preliminary Iota Occultation Results from Live Oak

Noah Rashkind and I were able to observe the ocultation of Iota 
Cancri last night from the IFAS farm located on CR 136, about 6 
miles east of Live Oak. Noah used a 10 Meade telescope and took fast 
images spaced about one second. I used an 8" Meade, a PC 164 video 
camera and recorded on a VCR the video image and WWV 10 MHz timing 
signals. We need to take a closer look to the images. Preliminary 
inspection of the images show a dissapearance at 8:55:59 local time 
and reappearance at 8:56:07. Sky was clear but there were a few thin 
cirrus clouds. We'll send a more detailed report later.
