In fact, you gave me an idea I needed.
I have 15 names on my list at present and would dearly like a few more.
So, listen up all you sceptics out there. Worried what you are up for? Well you can easily find out. You can practice the real thing ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT.
Here's how.
Get onto
www.YouTube.com and seach for "Asteroid Occultation" and you will be presented with numeroud short videos of - asteroid occultations!
With a voice recorder running CONTINUALLY you can set mock pre-event mark time, start the video, declare GONE and BACK, then set a post-event mark time.
With a watch or stopwatch you can extract the times of the eclipse and compare duration with the 'official' time given.
IT REALLY IS THAT EASY. Personal error cancels out (almost). YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!
