Because of the relative low amplitude of 0.9mag a linear Gamma setting OFF = 1 was used on the WAT-120N camera. Thus an integration time of 1.28s (32 frames) was needed. Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.9.7 and Tangra v1.2.0.373 Predicted event time was 01:14:24 UTC for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 41.4 seconds with a 0.9mag drop. Position was 390km from predicted central line in NE direction between path edge and 1-sigma line with a probability of 21.3%. No occultation event detected (It=1.28s). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.3 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 556.3MSL + 44.5 = 600.8 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
