Lunar Occultations Section, Bulletin No.2                             -2-




scheduled to be observed at a location sane eight miles from the city.
In attempting to record the multiple occultations expected, as the star
passed behind a number of lunar peaks, the Edmonton observers took along
a portable tape recorder, shortwave radio and two telescopes. In
addition, Dr. E.G Cumming of the University of Alberta brought the
Physics Department' s strip recorder to permit simultaneous recording of
time signals and occultation events. Needless to say, clear skies
lasted all evening until 5:00 a.m., just minutes prior to the graze!
A little weary - and dejected - these observers are waiting with
enthusiasm for the next graze to pass by Edmonton.
