The occultation of a star by asteroid Hedwig - 26 July 2018

Quite easy observation - perfect altitude, azimut and brightness of star. However, this occultation revealed that target star is double because some observers detect occultation with two decreases. I have recorded only one but smaller than prediction.

Results of other observers are available on Euraster pages.
