RASNZ Occultation Section - Bohemia Occultation Update (656 words)
OCCULTATION BY (371) BOHEMIA - 2006 JUN 21
On 2006 Jun 21 UT, the 55 km diameter asteroid (371) Bohemia will occult a 10.3 mag star in the constellation Pisces for observers along a path that may cross Cape Reinga in New Zealand.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 3.4 mag to 13.7 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 4.3 seconds.
