Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0, Tangra v1.4.0.435 Event data details according to the predictions from EAON. Predicted event time was 23:53:08 UTC (+/- 13s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 4.4 seconds with a 1.4mag drop. Position was 54km from predicted central line in SE direction between path edge and 1-sigma limit with a probability of 10.6%. No occultation event detected (It=0.32s). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 09 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 0.9 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 546.8MSL + 44.6 = 591.4 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
