Physics

Scientific paper

The possibility of amateur and undergraduate study of lunar occultations using readily available equipment was investigated. This study was a continuation of work being carried out by A. Sweeney and P. C. Chen. It is shown that with access to a telescope of at least 16 inches diameter with an automatic tracking system lunar occultations can be recorded and accurately timed up to 0.5 ms. Additional equipment includes a photometer, a digital counter, a host computer, and radio that can receive the WWV broadcast signal. The occultation of SA162512 was recorded successfully on July 29, 1996 using this technique.
