Accuracy + Comments code: HH:MM:SS.ss S.ss S.ss S: 00:13:08 E: 00:19:12 5.TELESCOPE: Type: Newton Focal length: 1200mm Aperture: 254 mm Magnification: video/primary focus/FOV 18.5'x13.8'/1.5" per pixel Mount: Equatorial Motor drive: Yes 6.TIMING & RECORDING: Timekeeping: GPS 1PPS Garmin 18 LVC + KIWI-OSD Sensor/Camera: WAT-120N, CCIR, 1/2" Sony CCD-Sensor ICX419ALL Mode of recording: Int. time see comments, Video CCIR, AVI, YUY2, Huffyuv, Device of recording: Xpert V-Stream Videograbber USB2.0, Notebook Harddisk Time insertion: KIWI-OSD 7.OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: very bad Wind: 0 - 1m/s Star image stability: fair Minor planet visible: No Temperature: 288 Kelvin (+15 deg Celsius) 8.ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Due to moving clouds in the target area the integration time had to be dynamically adjusted in the range from 160ms to 640ms. So it was possible to record the target star without a loss. Video evaluation accomblished with VirtualDub1.6.16 No occultation detected Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used Target star HIP 95228, +8.1mag, 33deg Elevation Limit on recorded video fields without editing was TYC 5143 1342, +9.2mag 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18 LVC Receiving 06 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 2.0 Geoidal separation 44.4m (Altitude 541.1MSL + 44.4 = 585.5m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
