From: "Dave Nelson" To: "David Dunham" Subject: ZC 2702 graze Results from NJAA, Oct. 17 Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 22:10:38 -0400 Mr. Dunham, After to listening to my cassette four times, I began to doubt it was worthwhile sending it. Instead I "transcribed" our observations, shown below. Four of us viewed, two had never seen a graze before, for the other two this was our second graze, first attempt timing. The four were: Wayne Petko, Bill Anthony, Anton Nelson (my 11 year old son) and me. We observed within 20 feet of each other at the NJAA observatory. Each one of us had his own scope to watch through. Here are our results, from Latitude 40.683 North, Longitude 74.897 West, altitude 870 feet above sea level Based on our inexperience I'd say our times may be off by as much as 3 seconds. First Disappearance: 7:59:14 PM EDT First Reappearance: 7:59:28 PM EDT Second Disappearance: I can't tell from our voices on the tape, but it must 've been just a few seconds after first reappearance Second Reapperance: 8:02:02 PM EDT Hope this helps somehow.
