Max. duration=16.6s. The 1 sigma uncertainty interval in time was +/- 27.3 minutes. Because of clouds the planned recording start at 00:30 was delayed by about 40 minutes to 01:10 UT. Target star 2UCAC 37537210, +14.1mag, 57deg Elevation. Faintest object visible on some live video fields (It=2.56s) was 2UCAC 37537230 +14.9mag. Due to clouds the limit magnitude was permanently decreased and the visibility of the stars was interrupted several times. Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub1.8.5 manually. No occultation detected (It=2.56s) 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18 LVC Receiving 07 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.6 Geoidal separation 44.4m (Altitude 562.8MSL + 44.4 = 607.2m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
