Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0 and Tangra v1.3.1.434. Prediction data used from EAON. Predicted event time was 21:30:28 UTC (+/- 26s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 3.1 seconds with a 7.7mag drop. Position was 129km from predicted central line in SW direction between path edge and 1-sigma line with a probability of 4.1%. No occultation event detected (It=20ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 06 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 2.3 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 555.4MSL + 44.6 = 600.0 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
