Context : Aims : I study new deep ( \Delta V \approx 1.20–1.65 mag ) occultation events of the \delta Scuti , Herbig Ae/Be star V1247 Ori in the Ori OB1 b association . Methods : I use the V -band ASAS light curve of V1247 Ori , which covers the last nine years , together with photometric data in the near-ultraviolet , visible , near- , and far-infrared taken from the literature . I carry out a periodogram analysis of the “ cleaned ” light curve and construct the spectral energy distribution of the star . Results : The star V1247 Ori is interesting for the study of the UX Orionis phenomenon , in which Herbig Ae/Be stars are occulted by their protoplanetary discs , for three reasons : brightness ( V \approx 9.85 mag ) , large infrared excess at 20–100 \mu m ( F _ { 60 } \approx 10 Jy ) , and photometric stability out of occultation ( \sigma ( V ) \approx 0.02 mag ) , which may help to determine the location and spatial structure of the occulting disc clumps . Conclusions :
