Abstract
The occultation of 136 Tau on May 11, 1988 was observed at the Observatorium Hoher List. The ingress was recorded photoelectrically by the dual beam photometer while the egress was observed visually. A bona fide curve fitting reduction yielded a scale height differing from earlier p.e. occultation results and is in better agreement with theoretical expectations.
