Vail View Observatory belongs to Steven Peterson, and is very close 
to G92 Jarnac Observatory belonging to David Levy. 

I copy our Observation Details transmitted to Don Jennings March 22 
which include coordinates, central time and duration 

Exposure time = 4 s
Time between exposures = 5.2 s

The time on the Fits header is the start time of the exposure, 
accurate to 1 s 

Beginning of exposure times:
The plot starts at 10:41:15
The plot ends at   11:07:24
The duration of the plot is 1569 s

I estimate the center of the occultation for us at 10h 53m 44s UT

I estimate the duration of the occultation at 4m 10s

Coordinates, WGS84 Datum, accurate to a few meters:
Lat. 31d 58' 26.1"  Long. -110d 42' 43.4"
