[AZ-Observing] Re: Asteroid occultation Friday night

I ran this on Skymap, and it showed the occulted star to be GSC 0006-00219.
Same number as what Thad shows, but different catalogue. Intersting.

I added a pair of finder charts to my web page at:

I have conflicting information about the subject star.  The occultation
prediction
software identifies the star as  magnitude 10.6 A+04 0089, while IOTA (and
Thad) say it's TYC0006-00219-1 (which may be the same), but magnitude 11.6.

I thought 10.6 would be challenging from the Peoria metro area, but 11.6 may
be
impossible.  We'll see.

Have fun!
