Fig. 3. Occultation of HIP 050535 by (1723) Klemola on June 5, 2004. It is similar to Fig. 2 except that data from two telescopes A
(top) and B (bottom) are shown here. Each cycle lasted for about 0.25 s, only. The target star HIP 050535 (
m
V
=8
.
6) is clearly missing
in four rowblocks between the two circles in both cases. This is the signal for an occultation lasted for about just 1 s. The asteroid itself
is too faint (

.
7) to be identified during this event in our zipper image. Thirty-two rowblocks with 100
64 pixels per rowblock
are shown. The two telescopes pointed at slightly different directions. Hence, stars were “zipped” into slightly different patterns.
