Today I added some more information to my asteroid occultation annotated bibliography. I read through the site again too, just to get a feel for what we'll be doing later this year in the project. I was also getting ready to go observing at Jordan Hall tonight, but am told now that the conditions are too poor to observe, and we will have to re-schedule for a different day. I think that the trip to Jordan Hall will really put a good start on our asteroid project.

Today I resumed my annotated bibliography of asteroid occultation, and added a few more to my link in Asteroids.

Updated a few things in my occultation bibliography

Thursday, November 15th, 2007
Today I finished my Asteroid Occultation bibliographical annotation- which means that I am going to now try and use what knowledge I have gained to begin studying occultations and perhaps trying to predict one myself. Once I get better acquainted with how to read plots and plan your own, it will be helpful to our group so taht we can effectively plan to see asteroids in the sky. I also am going to try and download WinOccult and see if I can make my own plot. My completed annotation can be found here.

Today I talked with SG and TL about WinOccult and tried to plan another observing session, but weather for the week is not good. So it doesn't look good for observing. I attempted to download WinOccult but could not find a working link anywhere n the internet, so I may have to resort to another program, or just start looking at some other things.

Next Week
