Due to the moving clouds a dynamical change of integration time in the range from It=1.28s to 5.12s was necessary. In the 513.159 seconds with star visible no occultation was detected. Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used Target star GSC 1198 1241, +14.4mag, 43deg Elevation 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18 LVC Receiving 07 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.2 Geoidal separation 44.4m (Altitude 548.0MSL + 44.4 = 592.4m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
