Caption: Figure 5.

Detailed view of the light curves from the Bishop site. From top to bottom, the panels show the raw light curves for comparison star 1, comparison star 2, and the target star. The bottom panel shows the ratio of the target star to the comparison stars, normalized to 1 when the star is not occulted. This ratio is what is plotted in Figure 3. The predicted time is indicated in dotted–dashed green vertical lines, the 1σ in dashed green and 2σ in solid green. The points lower than 3σ are highlighted in red with a flux drop consistent of two consecutive integrations ∼30 s before the predicted time.
