5.TELESCOPE:
	Type: Newton
	Focal length: 1200mm
 	Aperture: 254 mm
	Magnification: video/primary focus/FOV 18.3'x13.7' (768x576, 1.43"x1.43" per pixel)
	Mount: Equatorial
	Motor drive: Yes

6.TIMING & RECORDING:
	Timekeeping: GPS 1PPS Garmin 18x LVC + KIWI-OSD
        Sensor/Camera: WAT-120N, CCIR, 1/2" Sony CCD-Sensor ICX419ALL
	Mode of recording: It=640ms (1.5625 Img/s), Video CCIR, AVI, YUY2, Huffyuv,
	Device of recording: TIS DFG/USB2-lt Videograbber USB2.0, Notebook Harddisk
        Time insertion: KIWI-OSD 

7.OBSERVING CONDITIONS:
	Atmospheric transparency: very bad (dense ground fog)
	Wind: No
	Star image stability: fair
	Minor planet visible: No
	Temperature: 284 Kelvin (+11 deg Celsius)
	
8.ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
        Due to dense ground fog a relative long integration time of 640ms had to be used.
        But because predicted max. duration was 3.3 seconds an ocultation detection
        would have been possible.

        Target star 2UCAC 41505354, +13.0mag, 17deg Elevation.
        Faintest object visible on live video fields (It=640ms) was target star.

        Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used.
        
        Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub1.8.6, AviSynth2.5 and Limovie0.9.29b.

        Predicted event time for observing position was 22:27:36 UTC.
        No occultation detected (It=640ms)
