Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.9.7 and Tangra v1.1.0.352 Due to unsure cloud conditions for my home position I decided to change observation position in south direction. And at this new position, 39.1 km closer to the central line, the probability of a positive result was rised from 45% to 59%. In this night strong wind was a serious problem and made it impossible to use the long 10" Newton telescope on my mount. So I had to use the small sized WO Megrez72 Doublet APO. My precalculations including aperture, f-stop and pixel size showed that an increase of the exposure time from 160ms to only 320ms should work. And it really did. The star was calm. No shakeing from the wind blowing with 10 m/s and some faster gusts was noticable. But I had to hold my table and notebook to prevent a turn over. Predicted event time was 23:55:16 UTC for my new observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 7.7 seconds with a 1.7mag drop. New position was 25km from predicted central line in N direction between central line and 1-sigma line with a probability of 59%. No occultation event detected (It=320ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.2 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 854.0MSL + 44.5 = 898.5 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
