This location was chosen to coincide with 5 asteroid occultations occurring over California during the week surrounding the meeting.
The asteroids were 522 Helga, 559Nanon, 64 Angelina, 524 Fidelio, and 491 Carina.
The meeting continued with the showing of videos of recent occultation events, including 522 Helga and 559Nanon from earlier in the week, and some grazes and totals.
