Due to some stronger gusts the telescope was shaked several times during recording. Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.9.7 and Tangra v1.2.0.373 Because of the use of a WAT-120N in integration mode frame4 (It=160ms) a correction of -110ms was made to the video inserted times according to http://www.dangl.at/ausruest/vid_tim/vid_tim1.htm#wat_120n Predicted event time was 19:00:11 UTC for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 2.8 seconds with a 3.6mag drop. Position was 698km from predicted central line in SSE direction between 1-sigma line and 2-sigma line with a probability of 1.5%. Occultation event with a duration of 1.12s detected (It=160ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.2 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 554.0MSL + 44.5 = 598.5 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
