Details:
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann occulted a 12th magnitude star with the path close but south of the New Mexico location of T19 an iTelescope 17 inch Planewave telescope. This image was captured as the star was grazed by 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann but did not occult the star. The resolution of the 17 inch telescope is not sufficient to split the star from the 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann body. The bottom color image was captured with iTelescope T2 that is a 150 mm refractor with a color camera at the same New Mexico location.
