My Events

Every occultation you have announced a station for, nearest first.

My Events lists the events your OWC account already has a station on, soonest first. It is not a search: nothing appears here until you have announced a station, either on the OWC website or from Search Events.

The list paints instantly from its saved copy, then refreshes quietly in the background if that copy has gone stale. Pull down to force a refresh at any time.

My Events showing three upcoming events with countdowns and statistics — Three upcoming events. The coloured square at the left of each row is where your station falls in the shadow.

Reading a row

Each row packs a lot in. From the top left:

Row contents
What you see	What it means
Coloured square	Where your station falls relative to the predicted shadow. See Icons and badges for the colours.
Object name	The asteroid, with its catalogue number where it has one.
Weather badge	Cloud cover, and temperature and wind when they are worth flagging, forecast for your Home Site at event time.
Countdown	Time remaining, then the day, part of night, date and time. It ticks while you watch.
Telescope count	`x2` means two stations are announced on this event — including other observers', not just yours.
Star colour and magnitude	The target star's colour class and combined brightness during the occultation.
Maximum duration	The longest the event can last, at the centre line.
Magnitude drop	How far the combined brightness falls when the star is covered. A bigger drop is easier to see.
Shape model icon	Shown only when DAMIT or ISAM has a real 3D shape for this asteroid — see Icons and badges. Its absence just means no shape model exists for this one; most events have none.

Tip

Press and hold any of these values for a short description of what it is. The same works on Event Detail and Search Events.

Events that have already happened

My Events with the Show past events toggle on and events grouped under collapsible date headings — With enough events, they group by date. Tap a heading to open or close that day.

Show past events at the top of the screen brings back events that have already occurred. How far back is up to you — see Settings.

Once there are more events than fit comfortably, the app groups them under collapsible date headings, with a count beside each. Whether it does this is itself a setting.

For a past event the weather forecast is no longer any use, so the badge is replaced by a summary of what was reported: a coloured circle per outcome with a count beside it.

The first row here has a green circle with 1, a red with 1 and a grey with 1 — one positive detection, one miss, and one station that has not reported yet.

Past rows are also dimmed, so a glance tells you which part of the list has already happened.

Past events showing coloured report-outcome circles with counts — Outcome circles replace the weather badge once an event is over.
