Welcome
Dear participant,
Welcome to the Occultation Workshop of the 2-nd Trans-Tasman Symposium on Occultations. The aim of the workshop is to help occultation observers new to audio and video recording to extract timing measurements from real occultation audio and video data using computer software. The workshop also touches some more advanced concepts in reducing data and using LiMovie in particular and would be also interesting to the more experienced video observers.
The manual itself is prepared assuming that the reader is not an adept with computers and it sometimes goes into more details of how to use the software. If you are a more advanced computer user please bare with us and help the other participants around you, that may need a hand. The manual can be also used as a self-guided practice reference as it contains complete and detailed instructions.
The occultation data on the DVD has been recorded and kindly provided, exclusively for this workshop by observers around the world from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Germany, Austria and United States. See the acknowledgement section for additional information.
