 | | 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. |
