	Occultation of (762) Pulcova/TYC 2314-01655-1 (October 13, 2009) This 30fps video shows asteroid (762) Pulcova, discovered in 1913 by Russian astronomer Grigory Neujmin. It is named for the Pulcova Observatory in Saint Petersburg. Magnitude 12.2 star TYC 2314-01655-1 appears to merge with Pulcova, but you are actually watching the asteroid pass in front of the star as seen from our vantage point at the 1.5M telescope at the San Pedro Martir Observatory in North Baja California, Mexico on October 7-8, 2009.
