”Triple” in February or the Bonus of the Month?

JOA 2021, Vol. 11, No. 3, Page 19

Author(s): Jiří Kubánek

Abstract: After careful preparation, Czech astronomers Karel Halíř and Jiří Kubánek successfully observed 3 stellar occultations by minor planets in one night. This report describes the logistics, the adventure and the satisfaction of their successful occultation observations of (932) Hooveria, (33074) 1997 WP21 and (6546) Kaye. Karel Halíř’s timings of (33074) 1997 WP21 suggest it has a satellite or is a binary asteroid.
