My first chord??
I think I've just measured my first asteroidal occultation: 57 Mnemosyne occultating TYC 0034 00960-1. The video looks good to me, though I'll have to wait for confirmation from an expert. I know I should wait for confirmation before making an announcement but ... bugger that I'm excited! I've been working towards this for a little while and had a few cloud outs, so it's great to get a result.
It took a 'mere' 2hrs to get set up for a ca. 5 sec event but I'm sure I'll get better with practice. [Of course an observatory is the longer term solution.] So, tomorrow night I learn to process the video.
