The 1 sigma uncertainty interval was +/- 0.68 path widths. My position was 2 kilometers from predicted path central line. The predicted occultation probability on my position was 53.6% Target star 2UCAC 23250601, +12.2mag, 11deg Elevation Limit on video fields was target star. 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18 LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.0 Geoidal separation 44.4m (Altitude 552.4MSL + 44.4 = 596.8m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
