Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.9.7 and Tangra v1.0Beta8 Because a WAT-120N was used the inserted times in video were corrected to real times using this page: http://www.dangl.at/ausruest/vid_tim/vid_tim1.htm Correction value was -40ms for all times. Predicted event time in Occult Watcher was 22:05:53 UTC for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 4.1 seconds with a 5.1mag drop. Position was 91km from predicted central line in E direction between center line and path edge with a probability of 67.0%. Occultation event detected with a duration of 2.02s(It=20ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.0 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 547.4MSL + 44.5 = 591.9 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
