Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Due to moving clouds recording start was delayed. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.9.7 Predicted event time was 19:38:34 UTC for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 16.6 seconds with a 2.1mag drop. Position was 210km from predicted central line in SW direction between 1-sigma line and 2-sigma line with a probability of 5.4%. No occultation event detected (It=320ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.1 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 547.7MSL + 44.5 = 592.2 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
