About fifty of my students watched the occultation with Celestrons through
high haze. Our closed circuit TV hookup failed becasue our equipment person
used bold that were too long in attaching the camera mount. The bolts
shifted the mirror cell on our 16 inch DMF Cassegrain and it lost
collimation and could not focus.
