Description:
A photographic search was conducted for stars that may be occulted
by the unusual solar system object (2060) Chiron during the period
from fall 1993 through summer 1996. 44 candidates were identified
to a limiting V magnitude of 16, and for which the minimum appulse
separation with Chiron is predicted to be less than 2.5arcsec.
