Accuracy + Comments code: HH:MM:SS.ss S.ss S.ss S: 20:58:13 E: 21:04:24 5.TELESCOPE: Type: Newton Aperture: 254 mm Magnification: 120x Mount: Equatorial Motor drive: Yes 6.TIMING & RECORDING: Timekeeping: GPS 1PPS Garmin18 LVC + DOS-Software "KIWI" Mode of recording: Manually, SW "KIWI" records pressed button with timestamp Device of recording: Visual 7.OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: bad Wind: 1 - 2 m/s Star image stability: bad Minor planet visible: No Temperature: 282 Kelvin (+09 deg Celsius) 8.ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I startet with video CCD Modul. Target star (+11.4mag) was bright and clear enough on Notebook screen. But from 20h50 UT thin clouds on horizon dimmed the star and target disappeared in noise most of time. So I decided to change equipment within few minutes from video to visual observation.
