2022 Mars Occultation Test

I choose this event for performing a test on UrukFSP. The frame below is extracted from a Mount Wilson Observatory Youtube video covering the entire event. I could get a time reference from their PC (at bottom right) just freezing the frame when time passes from 30 sec. to 31 sec.

Their CCD camera had a slightly different orientation with respect the local Zenith, but the position of Mars looks matching perfectly. Needless to say that I’m pretty happy with the final result. 👍

  1. Hi
    Great test indeed. Which once again proves that UrkuFSP can be used for serious and reliable research work.
    Regards

  2. In effetti confrontando l’inizio della occultazione lunare di Marte con Stellarium i tempi sono analoghi (entro 1-2 secondi). Grazie.
