Each year IOTA will identify at least two occultation events in North America as special observing campaigns for the year. One event will be chosen for the potential to generate the most valuable results, and the other event will be chosen as the most “observable”. We encourage IOTA observers to put these events on their calendar.IOTA MEMBERSHIP

MAJOR PLANET OCCULTATION PREDICTIONS « IOTA Each year IOTA provides predictions for the circumstances of stellar occultations by the major planets and their satellites. Observers may view the circumstances of these occultations by downloading the occelmnt file below and reviewing the file with the program Occult. The predictions below have been provided by Dave Herald. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT « IOTA The selection of analog video cameras and other gear has decreased in recent years however this is still the prevalent method of recording occultations. Here is a list of equipment used for observing and recording occultations with analog video: GPS Video Time Inserter: IOTA-VTI. C to 1 1/4″ adapter (camera to eyepiece holder) :Recommended
ANALOG VIDEO RECORDING IN WINDOWS « IOTA Analog Video Recording in Windows. Current generation windows PCs can easily record (capture) analog video. Although many video capture setups record the video with MP4 or similar codecs, these codecs are lossy (lower quality). ANALOG VIDEO CAMERAS « IOTA If you are looking for a new camera for occultations, here is a list of the currently available analog video cameras which we can recommend: RunCam NightEagle 2 PRO “Astro Edition” (click on link at left for ordering information) This is a new inexpensive but sensitive camera.

It is possible for amateur astronomers to discover new companions of stars, help to improve the polar diameters of the Sun and Moon, identify the existence of possible satellites orbiting asteroids, to improve knowledge of heights of lunar mountain peaks and depths of valleys inthe polar

Free IOTA Observer’s Manual. IOTA BLOG - OCCULTATIONS For non-astronomers, “occultation” is a term that astronomers use for an eclipse of a star (or planet) by an asteroid or by the Moon. The only lunar occultation of a major planet visible from North America at night during 2020 will occur Tuesday morning, February 18, when the Moon will occult Mars, but in eastern North America, the Caribbean, and northernmost South America, the event will OBSERVING BASICS « IOTA Observing Goals. The basic goal of occultation observations is simple: measure the time of the occultation events. We use the term “event” to refer to the time when a star is covered or uncovered by the moon or asteroid. In a total lunar occultation, we measure the time of a single disappearance or reappearance event. OCCULTATION PREDICTIONS « IOTA Occultations by Major Planets and their Satellites.

Jul 19, 2011 occultation of the binary asteroid (90) Antiope Welcome to the home page of the International Occultation Timing Association (IOTA). IOTA is a volunteer science and research organization born in 1983. We gather data from timings of astronomical occultations and provide a variety of educational resources to promote and encourage observations of astronomicaloccultations.
We provide predictions of occultations of stars by asteroids and the Moon, and of grazing occultations of stars by the mountains of the Moon’s north and south polar regions. By observing and timing occultations, amateurs have contributed to the discovery of new double stars, improved knowledge of the shape and orbits of hundreds of asteroids and helped map the Lunar polar regions. We provide information and recommendations on observing equipment and techniques, and we report and publish our data in scientific journals. Amateur astronomers at all levels of experience are encouraged to become “citizen-scientists” and join in this exciting branch ofastronomy.
