Scientific paper

Approximate signal-to-noise ratios are calculated for 12 stellar occultations by the rings of Uranus during 1977-1980. Four of the stars are apparently bright enough to permit observation of the epsilon-ring occultations with a large telescope. For the best of these events, occultations by rings alpha through delta should also be observable with a large telescope, and epsilon-ring occultations should be detectable with smaller telescopes. Formulas for the signal-to-noise ratios are given to aid potential observers in evaluating the quality of the results they can expect to obtain with their own photometric equipment.
