Abstract
We propose detecting the moment an atom emits a photon by means of a nearly classical macroscopic clock and discuss its viability. It is shown that what happens in such a measurement depends on the relation between the clock's accuracy and the width of the energy range available to the photon. Implications of the analysis for the long standing Schroedinger's cat problem are reported.
