Folks: I find this fascinating - and it clearly involves considerable effort.
I'm a scientist, and (like you), we like to measure things.
Repeated or replicate measurements afford statistical analysis ( and confidence intervals).
Correct me if I'm wrong (which my wife tells me I always am!), but you seem to be making astrometric measurements at around 1 second intervals.
Is it possible to up this rate by (say) 5-10 fold. That way, instead of individual points apparently indicative of rings, you would have significantly more measurements over event times.
I understand that this would generate 5-10 times the amount of data - but digital storage is super cheap nowadays - and (for an authentic ring occultation) you would see 5-10 points on your time (aka frame number) versus flux graphs.
So doing would also greatly enhance spatial/chronological resolution of these occultation events.
Surely you generally use video-format type data capture (which clicks along faster than that: 30 fps is considered 'low-end', apparently).
Can your software handle such?
