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 22:56:28 UTC (+/- 9s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 1.9 seconds with a 5.7mag drop. Position was 135km from predicted central line in NW direction between 1-sigma line and 2-sigma line with a probability of 3.3%. Occultation event of 1.8s detected (It=20ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.1 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 554.5MSL + 44.6 = 599.1 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
