OccultWatcher (OW) is a Windows program that helps astronomical occultation observers to stay tuned with the incoming occultation events.

A web version, Occult Watcher Cloud (OWC), exists and we will be using it throughout the ACROSS project to alert observers on upcoming events.

More information about these platforms developed by Hristo Pavlov and collaborators can be found https://www.occultwatcher.net and https://cloud.occultwatcher.net.

Here is a tutorial explaining how to use OWC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blzrTisd328
