Faintest object visible on live video fields was target star. Due to moving clouds the integration time had to be changed several times between 40ms and 320ms. In this way the star was never lost in the video frames. Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub1.9.7, AviSynth2.5 and Limovie0.9.29b. Predicted event time was 21:25:24 UTC for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 1.5 seconds with 2.0mag drop. Position was 345km from central line in SW azimut direction between 1-sigma and 2-sigma line with a probability of 1.4%. No occultation detected (It=40ms to 320ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.1 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 547.5MSL + 44.5 = 592.0 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
