469 Argentina February 12^th, 2003 Located 15hrs 30min. Asteroid then very close to merging and merged in poor seeing and reducing transparency around 15hrs 33min. Commenced monitoring at 15hrs 36min but increasing cloud meant that the star could no longer be 'held' after 15hrs 37min 30secs. The cloud lightened and as a result I was able to monitor again from 15hrs 40min 20secs. until 15hrs 46min 00secs. There was a possible one second duration blink at 15hrs 41min 00secs (exactly) but the star was near the limit of vision through the light cloud. During much of the monitoring the combined image was only a magnitude brighter than the limiting magnitude. The sky cleared again and at 15hrs 54min the asteroid was well clear on the opposite side. Closest approach was probably around the time predicted but unable to assess accurately and certainly could not even guess at angles of approach or separation because of the conditions.

1999CQ133 March 21^st, 2003 Located 10hrs 40min. ID Positive. Hazy light cloud so limiting mv only 13.0 but star always well seen. Monitored 10hrs 50min 20sec to 11hrs 04min 50sec. No events. Unusual times of monitoring was due to difficulty in obtaining times, (WWVH fading in and out), and the minute of beginning and end was also confirmed by GPS.

2456 Palamedes April 9^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 50min. ID positive. Monitored 08hrs 53 min to 09hrs 08min. No events apart from a few 'blind spot' problems with the eye, but this was well afterwards and not around the critical time. Asteroid at mv 16.8 never seen.

374 Burgundia April 14^th, 2003 Located 12hrs 32min. Images well separated. I observed a Lunar Occultation event at 12hrs 45min and when I returned at 12hrs 47min, the images had merged in the poor 'seeing'. Monitored from 12hrs 54min 30secs to 13hrs 05min 20secs. No events. Images separating again from 13hrs 14min in such a manner as to indicate a pass to the west as predicted.

747 Winchester May 8^th, 2003 Located 12hrs 30min. Images were separated but merged around 12hrs 35min. Monitored 12hrs 47min to 13hrs 01min 30secs. No events apart from a few 'blind spots' in view of the angle I was squinting. Images first seen separate again at around 13hrs 15min. Because of the faintness of the asteroid and the sky being a little hazy, this elapsed time of 40 minutes during which the asteroid was not visible resulted in my not being able to estimate the angle of approach and direction and distance of appulse. However the closest approach occurred around the predicted time.

32 Pomona June 4^th, 2003 Located 16hrs 55min. Foggy with thicker fog before and afterwards, but during time of monitoring limiting mv was 12.5 at worst and 15.0 at best so monitoring was satisfactory. Monitored from 17hrs 24min 15sec to 17hrs 31min 00secs. No events. Images had merged around 17hrs 15min and were definitely separating again by 17hrs 43min. Difficult conditions meant that it was not possible to estimate angles etc. of closest approach, but it looked to be around the predicted time of 17hrs 27min.

21 Lutetia June 5^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 52min and images merged around 09hrs 00min. Monitored 09hrs 04min to 09hrs 16min. No events were detected but it was difficult because the asteroid was brighter than the star. Images were definitely separating by 09hrs 22min and the pass appeared to be nearly central at around the predicted time of 09hrs 10min.

773 Irmintraud June 14^th, 2003 Located 09hrs 06min. Identification positive and Asteroid glimpsed by averted vision. Monitored 09hrs 27min to 09hrs 43min. No events. Windy conditions and star blown out of field temporarily between 09hrs 29min 20secs and 09hrs 29min 25secs and again at 09hrs 37min 55secs for 1second. Ended session at 09hrs 43min. With the full Moon nearby and the conditions, limiting magnitude was only around that of the asteroid. (mv13.2)

615 Roswitha June 15^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 15min. Identification positive. Monitored 08hrs 30min to 08hrs 42min. No events. Because of the nearly full Moon nearby, the asteroid at mv13.6 was about the limiting magnitude and so was never seen.

125 Liberatrix June 16^th, 2003 Located 12hrs 10min. Windy and very poor 'seeing'. Monitored 12hrs 33min to 12hrs 48min. No events. Images merged at 12hrs 32min and separating again at 12hrs 46min. Closest approach therefore at 12hrs 39min +/- 1 minute. At both merger and separation the asteroid appeared slightly South at all times, so estimate a pass 0.75" to 1.0" to the South.

709 Fringilla June 28^th, 2003 Haze and high cloud. Located and observed 18hrs 39min 40sec to 18hrs 45min 00sec. No events, but this is not surprising as the closest approach was predicted for around 18hrs 37min. ID positive but did not see asteroid as totally cloudy afterwards.

47 Aglaja July 2^nd, 2003 Located 09hrs 55min. Monitored 10hrs 11min to 10hrs 21min. No events discerned but possible drop only mv0.6. Poor seeing and windy. Images merged at10hrs 07min to 10hrs 08min, circular by 10hrs 10min, elongated at 10hrs 21min and separating again between 10hrs 22min to 10hrs 23min. The asteroid was brighter than the star and appeared to be to the south at all stages, both before merging and after separating. Closest approach estimated to be 10hrs 15min +/- 1 minute at a distance of around one arc second.

773 Irmintraud July 2^nd, 2003 Located 14hrs 10min. Very windy and seeing 'blobby'. In these conditions with the 'scope shaking, it was impossible to see the asteroid. Monitored between 14hrs 25min and 14hrs 36min. No events were recorded.

976 Benjamina July 19^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 30min. ID positive. Monitored 08hrs 41min to 08hrs 51min. No events. Asteroid never seen.

690 Wratislavia July 20^th, 2003 Cloud earlier, then located at 10hrs 25min. ID positive. Images had merged by that time. Monitored 10hrs 27min to 10hrs 34min 36sec, the last 20 seconds of which was through increasing cloud. The cloud cover became thicker and I abandoned attempts at monitoring at 10hrs 39min. I was able to glimpse the images as clearly separating in a brief clear patch at 10hrs 49min, but could not estimate time, direction and distance of closest approach.

690 Wrataslavia July 24^th, 2003 Located 09hrs 30min. ID positive. Monitored between 09hrs 51min to 10hrs 06min. At 09hrs 58min 04sec (-1.0sec +0.25 sec), I noticed a drop but either it was gradual or the small nature of it was not instantly apparent, so I did not trigger a stopwatch but made a comment on tape. Then at 09hrs 58min 09.1sec (allowing for a 0.28sec reaction time,) full brightness returned instantly. I am 95% sure it was a 'real' event. Before I checked my tape, I had estimated that the drop was around 6 seconds duration and this is consistent with the tape. This places the drop at 09hrs 58min 04.0sec +0.25sec - 1.0sec. The star was clearly somewhat brighter than the asteroid. Merging and separation and angles were observed which were all consistent with the event.

27 Euterpe July 27^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 55min. ID positive. Images merged at 11hrs 12min and ceased to be elongated at 11hrs 14min. Monitored 11hrs 15min to 11hrs 30min. Images clearly separating at 11hrs 29min and clear by 11hrs 30min. Estimate closest at 11hrs 21min 30sec +/- 45 seconds and it appears to have been a nearly central pass. The asteroid was considerably brighter than the star and so any drop in combined magnitude would have been very slight. At 11hrs 23min 17.2sec (allowing for 0.3sec PE), I suspected the end of a dip which had lasted approximately 15 to 20 seconds. However I believe that this was spurious as I noticed a similar such event later.

849 Ara July 28^th, 2003 Located 09hrs 25min. ID positive and asteroid visible by averted vision in the glare of the star. Monitored 09hrs 39min to 09hrs 50min. No events. Asteroid not seen again till shortly after 10hrs 00min and easily seen by averted vision at 10hrs 05min. The considerable difference in brightness between the star and asteroid meant the latter was not visible when close to the star. It was therefore not possible to estimate the time and distance of closest approach but the time was around the predicted time.

212 Medea July 30^th, 2003 Located 16hrs 28min. Monitored 16hrs 35min to 16hrs 47min (with a 5 second break from 16.43.30 to 16.43.35 due to wind blowing it off field.) Asteroid not seen till 16hrs 52min and separation was obvious by 16hrs 55min. Closest approach around the predicted time. Angles of approach and recession unknown and impossible to do better because of 'blobby' conditions.

375 Ursula July 30^th, 2003 Located at 18hrs 12min when images well clear. Images merged at 18hrs 27min. Monitored 18hrs 28min to 18hrs 40min. The asteroid and star were effectively the same brightness and no events were apparent but it would have been very difficult. The closest approach was 18hrs 33min 30secs +/-45seconds. The images were elongating at 18hrs 40min and clearly separated at 18hrs 42min. 'Blobby' images made it impossible to estimate angles of approach and recession.

481 Emita August 10^th, 2003 Located 09hrs 40 min. ID positive. Monitored 09hrs 57min to 10hrs 07min. No events. The asteroid at mv14.5, being occulted by an mv8.3 star with a 96% illuminated Moon in the sky, was never seen.

Likely events not observed due to weather: 1021 Flammario Aug 15^th - overcast then rain, 21 Lutetia Aug 24^th Cloud cleared AFTER the critical time, 31 Euphrosyne Sept 2^nd - Cloud.

611 Valeria September 4^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 58min. ID positive. Monitored 09hrs 12min to 09hrs 20min. No events. Asteroid never seen due to smoke haze in the sky.

505 Cava September 9th, 2003 Located 12hrs 00min. Monitored 12hrs 16min to 12hrs 31min. No events. Bright moonlight. Asteroid only suspected by averted vision at 12hrs 50min at end, but not sure though identification of star was certain.

147 Protogeneia September 10^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 29min. Monitored 08hrs 32min to 08hrs 44min. No events. Bright moonlight, and asteroid only seen by averted vision at 09hrs 30min at end.

32 Pomona September 11^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 35min. Monitored 08hrs 40min to 08hrs 50min. Poor seeing -only events appeared to be 'blindspot' related, - quite unsatisfactory, star faint and mediocre seeing. By 08hrs 55min the images had definitely separated but they were too faint and distant in the poor seeing to estimate the angle of the appulse.

12 Victoria September 12^th, 2003 Located 08hrs 15min. Images merged 08hrs 28min. Monitored 08hrs 28min 50sec to 08hrs 35min. No discernable events though it was difficult as the asteroid appeared the same brightness as the star. Images elongating at 08hrs 33min and separating by 08hrs 34min. Estimate closest approach at 08hrs 30min 45sec +/-30secs. Nearly central passage but unable to determine more than this.

40 Harmonia September 13^th, 2003 Located 09hrs 25min when images well clear. Monitored 09hrs 33min to 09hrs 40min. It was very difficult to monitor properly because the asteroid was brighter than the star. Images merged at 09hrs 33min 30sec and separating by 09hrs 39min 30sec. Well clear by 09hrs 43min. Estimate closest approach 09hrs 36min 30sec. +/- 15secs. From the angles it appeared to be a very close pass to the north, perhaps 0.3".

165 Loreley November 9^th, 2003 Located 09hrs 09min. Monitored 09hrs 09min 30secs to 09hrs 14min. No events. Limiting mv of 13 at beginning. (Positive identification as asteroid glimpsed by averted vision at 09hrs 24min, but by then too distant to estimate time and angle of appulse.)

734 Benda November 12^th, 2003 Identification uncertain. The area was in the east at dawn and over the city. Monitored the suspect star from 18hrs 05min to 18hrs 14min with a break between 18hrs 08min 00sec and 18hrs 08min 15sec. No events. Most unsatisfactory!

348 May December 17^th, 2003 Located 09hrs 35min. ID positive. Monitored 09hrs 55min to 10hrs 00min. Definitely no events. Limiting magnitude 14.5 so asteroid never seen.

470 Kilia December 28^th, 2003 Located 10hrs 35min. ID positive. Monitored 11hrs 00min to 11hrs 08min. No events apart from a one second 'blind spot' disappearance when I shifted my head between11.05.59 and 11.06.00, which was not near the critical time around 11.04.00. Apart from this, there were definitely no events. The sky was hazy and with the crescent Moon the limiting magnitude was 14.0 so the asteroid was never seen.

1999CM153 January 6^th, 2004 Located 16hrs 20min. ID Positive. Monitored around the time of the predicted event (16hrs 36min 30sec), but the star was only glimpsed. A bright (99%) moon and a milky sky meant that the limiting magnitude was around mv14.0 and the target star was mv13.8 so it was quite unsatisfactory. The object was never seen. No obvious event occurred.

1819 Laputa April 17^th, 2004 Located 18hrs 45min. ID positive. Monitored 19hrs 07min 30sec to 19hrs 21min 00sec. No events. Star was mv5.5. Asteroid never seen.

389 Industria April 23^rd, 2004 Located 09hrs 15min. Monitored 09hrs 32min to 09hrs 42min. Images merged at 09hrs 32min and separating by 09hrs 41min and plainly separated by 09hrs 44min when observing ceased. The star and the asteroid were of equal brightness and the conditions were quite blobby and deteriorating. No events were observed and from the angles of approach and separation it was a close pass to the south-west at around 09hrs 36min 30sec +/- 1minute.

177 Irma April 30^th, 2004 Located 10hrs 40min. ID Positive. Monitored 10hrs 54min to 11hrs 04min. No events. Limiting magnitude around 14.5 so the asteroid at 14.8 was never seen. At 11hrs 00min 44sec to 45sec, well after the predicted closest approach, I noticed a 'blind spot' disappearance, which I discounted as spurious.

117 Lomia May 3^rd, 2004 Located 16hrs 09min. ID positive. Bright moon. Limiting mv 14.0. Monitored 16hrs 24min to 16hrs 33min. No events apart from the occasional atmospheric flicker. The asteroid was lost in the brightness of the star and not seen after 16hrs 15min. At 16hrs 37min separation was suspected which was plain by 16hrs 40min. It appeared to be a close pass to the north no earlier than 16hrs 26min. Due to the difference in brightness between the star and asteroid (9.8 and 12.5) estimates and the time of closest approach are only approximate.

22 Kalliope May 14^th, 2004 Located 11hrs 35min. ID Positive. Images merged in the poor seeing by 12hrs 12min. Increasing light cloud. Observed between 12hrs 15min 00sec and 12hrs 21min 30sec. The merged images of the star and asteroid were visible very faintly through the cloud at times fading out. They were better seen a minute or so each side of the predicted central time (12hrs 18min) but no events were noted. They were again seen sufficiently clearly at 12hrs 28min when the images were clearly separating. From this, the closest approach seems to have been around the time predicted. (Limiting magnitude over the period observed ranged from mv 10.5 to 13.0) Overall it was quite unsatisfactory.

772 Tanete May 20^th, 2004 Located 09hrs 45min. ID Positive. Monitored 09hrs 55min to 10hrs 04min. Only atmospheric or 'eye related' events. I was called away after that but the asteroid was well clear when I returned at 10hrs 50min.

247 Eukrate June 2^nd, 2004 Located 09hrs 03min. ID positive. Monitored 09hrs 04min to 09hrs 11min. Called away so didn't see the separation.

55 Pandora June 6^th, 2004 The field cleared of cloud at 09hrs 53min and monitoring started immediately at 09hrs 53min 15sec and continued until 09hrs 59min 00sec. He images were clearly separating by 10hrs 10min but the conditions were too unsteady and windy) to estimate angles etc.

372 Palma June 9^th, 2004 Located 13hrs 00min. ID Positive. The asteroid was definitely seen as separate when first located. Monitored 13hrs 15min to 13hrs 22min. Only atmospheric events seen. During the course of observing there were hazy conditions at times, but though the image was always held, there were a number of half second 'flickers' but none around the critical time. Cloud followed after the period of monitoring, but the images were well clear at 13hrs 45min when observations ceased. Unable to estimate angles or times.

184 Dejopeja June 16^th, 2004 POSITIVE EVENT Located 16hrs 45min. ID positive and images merged shortly afterwards. Monitored 16hrs 56min 30sec to 17hrs 07min 00sec. A drop lasting 0.2sec occurred reaching minimum brightness at 17hrs 01min 11.0sec +/-0.2sec and then commencing to return to full brightness (again around 0.2sec duration) at 17hrs 01min 17.2sec +/-0.15sec. The images were then observed to be clearly separating by 17hrs 15min. The star was mv 11.7 and the asteroid 12.7 and magnitude drop of mv1.3 was readily apparent.

494 Virtus July 2^nd, 2004 Located 11hrs 10min. ID Positive. Monitored 11hrs 36min to 11hrs 43min. No Events. The star was only five degrees from the full Moon and limiting magnitude was around that of asteroid (mv12.9) which was therefore never seen.

494 Virtus July 22^nd, 2004 Identification uncertain due to clouds. Monitored suspect star between 07hrs 59min 10sec and 08hrs 03min 00sec. No events. Asteroid never seen.

566 Stereoskopia August 6^th , 2004 Gusty westerlies, very low altitude, and faint blobby images. ID certain. I kept the monitoring short (11hrs 58min 20 secs to 12hrs 00min 45secs) so I didn't tire as I concentrated on the faint images. It was so difficult concentrating that I relied on the tape comments rather than stopwatches. The tape recorder, (unbeknown to me) failed at the outset and chewed up the tape. The visibility merged image of star and asteroid was 'coming and going'. There definitely was an event because the image was not seen for about 10 seconds in the 11hrs 59min 10sec to 11hrs 59min 20sec area and again I did not see it for about 5 seconds or so around 11hrs 59min 35secs. Clearly much of this was the atrocious seeing, with the wind and low altitude. With the tape chewed up and no stopwatch, this is all I can report (from my memory) Even if I had an accurate record the accuracy would be very low, but an event definitely occurred shortly after 11hrs 59min 10secs.

199 Byblis August 6^th, 2004 Monitored between 14hrs 33min and 14hrs 36min. This was another positive event and less than three hours after the previous one! The star was occulted (a fade of approx 0.25sec) at 14hrs 34min 30.2 sec (+0.1sec -0.3sec) and the 0.2 sec duration reappearance commenced at 14hrs 34min 35.1 sec (+/- 0.15sec.) This event was very obvious and easily observed. Since the asteroid was mv12.8 and the limiting magnitude 14.5, the asteroid was easily visible when the 11.1 magnitude star was occulted.

1428 Mombasa December 28^th, 2004 Monitored between 12hrs 37min and 12hrs 42min. (X98) In the difficult conditions, there was a highly probable spurious one second duration event between 12hrs 39min 08s and 09sec, but a positive though difficult event between 12hrs 39min 16.7sec and 12hrs 39min 21.3sec. (+/-0.15sec.) The asteroid at mv 14.9 with a 97% illuminated Moon, was never seen. The star at mv12.0 was difficult enough to monitor in the circumstances. Because of the difficulty of the observation it was not possible to determine whether the image disappeared or reappeared instantaneously or not.

175 Andromache December 29^th, 2004 Much cloud. Only monitored between 10hrs 19min 25sec and 10hrs 19min 40sec then total cloud and later abandoned.

1296 Andree January 11^th, 2005 Monitored between 11hrs 07min 30sec and 11hrs 12min 00secs. No events. Asteroid not seen.

144 Vibilia March 22^nd, 2005 POSITIVE EVENT. Monitored between 17hrs 05min and 17hrs 10min. Asteroid never seen. Disappearance at 17hrs 07min 16.5sec and reappearance at 17hrs 07min 19.2secs.

904 Rockefellia May 13^th, 2005 Monitored between 19hrs 38min and 19hrs 45min. No events. Asteroid never seen. Limiting magnitude mv 14.5 at beginning but due to approaching dawn, only 12.5 at end.

585 Bilkis May 21^st, 2005 Monitored 12hrs 59min to 13hrs 04min. No events. Asteroid never seen. Limiting magnitude with 93% waxing moon 34 degrees distant only approx. 13.0.

686 Gersuind August 26^st, 2005 ID Positive. Monitored 14hrs 09min to 14hrs 18min. No events. Due to magnitude difference asteroid was not visible for some time before and after the appulse.

949 Hel August 31^st,2005 ID Positive. Monitored 10hrs 19min to 10hrs 29min. Asteroid never seen. No events apart from a one second unlikely 'blind spot' disappearance at 10h 25m 09s.

221 Eos October 06^th,2005 ID positive. Monitored 12hrs 14min to 12hrs 21min. No events. Asteroid lost in glare of star after 12hrs 11min.
