At a very civilized hour Friday evening November 1, 2013, the asteroid (128) Nemesis is predicted to occult 2UCAC 30123334 (Sat. 2 Nov. 4:01 UT). In Plumas County (Quincy, Greenville, and Portola) we are planning to use it as a warm-up for Iduna a week later. We are near the southern edge pf the predicted shadow path so this event also presents an opportunity for the RECON communities to our north.
The magnitude of the star is actually less than that of the asteroid so the light curve will be shallow. Full details of the occultation are online at

The field is mildly challenging because it is relatively sparse and faint.
