Illinois occultation summary. I. 1977-1978.
Abstract
Results are presented for the first two years of a program for the recording of lunar occultations primarily of bright stars or objects of special interest. Observations were obtained using a single-channel Cassegrain photometer at a 1-m reflector using various filters to provide spectral definition, with the tracking of guide stars used to achieve telescope pointing. Of the 64 events observed, 30 were of stars brighter than 7 magnitudes, 40 were reappearances, four were used for angular diameter measurements, eight were binary star observations and six may indicate multiple stars.
