Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0, Tangra v1.3.1.434 Event data details according to the predictions from EAON. Predicted event time was 19:50:35 UTC for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 2.5 seconds with a 4.3mag drop. Position was 58km from predicted central line in WWN direction between path edge and 1-sigma limit with a probability of 5.1%. No occultation event detected (It=160ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 06 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.6 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 551.2MSL + 44.6 = 595.8 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
