[vsnet-campaign-deltavel 30] DELTA VEL Results

[Sebasti若n Otero <varsao@fullzero.com.ar>]

For the delta Velorum campaign:

With no observations so far from other observing sites, I am reporting now
my results.
I am amazed because predictions were far better than I had expected.
I hope someone has recorded the end of the eclipse.

Here in Argentina, Sergio Domguez (LIADA's president) also confirmed the
eclipse.

I avoided to read the ephemeris until the observation was done, that's why I
am amazed by the results...
This is a comparison between predicted and observed magnitudes using Galileo
data:

Julian date predicted / Mag. predicted  / Mean Mag. observed

2451869.594  /   1.95  /  1.95:
2451869.643  /   2.00  /  1.98
2451869.705  /   2.05  /  2.01
2451869.775  /   2.10  /  2.07
2451869.853  /   2.15
2451869.952  /   2.20
2451870.04    /   2.20
2451870.128  /   2.20
2451870.227  /   2.15
2451870.305  /   2.10
2451870.375  /   2.05
2451870.437  /   2.00
2451870.486  /   1.95


As you see, we were pretty right about the period. Maybe the amplitude is a
little shorter, but it was also very close to the predictions.
These are my observations of the eclipse:
