  RASNZ Occultation Section - Bertholda Occultation Update
OCCULTATION BY (420) BERTHOLDA - 2004 OCT 30
On 2004 Oct 30 UT, the 141 km diameter asteroid (420) Bertholda will occult a 12.3 mag star in the constellation Pisces for observers along a path across SE Australia.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 1.3 mag to 13.2 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 11.2 seconds.

 Varsavia Occultation July 18 timed in w. North America   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
At the time, it was the 3rd best-observed (in numbers of positive observations) asteroidal occultation, after the 1983 May Pallas - 1 Vulpeculae event and the 2002 Sept. Tercidina - 43 Tauri event, but now it is in 4th place since 2nd place is now taken by the highly successful occultation of 8.7-mag.
SAO 144929 by (420) Bertholda from Poland to Portugal on August 26.
Varsavia's path shifted about a quarter path-width west of Steve Preston's last prediction and not quite half a path-width west of his July 6th prediction that I used as the basis for the station track calculations.

 Recent Asteroidal Occ'n Observations - updated 2004 January 19   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The path shifted south and cloudy skies (and, for some, heavy snow) thrawted others, so this will not be nearly as well-observed as the August 26th Bertholda event, but I think it is still the 4th- best-observed event of 2003.
Miss observations from Bruges, Belgium and Swainsboro, Georgia constrain Botha's shape both north and south of the Ieper chord, as shown here, showing that the actual path passed about halfway between the predictions of Jan Manek and Steve Preston.
SAO 144929 by the 146-km P-class asteroid 420 Bertholda was recorded by observers at over 70 separate stations in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Portugal to make it the 2nd most successfully-observed asteroidal occultation to date, replacing last September's Tercidina event from that position.
