Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Due to low elevation and hazy sky in the target sky region I had to change camera from designated WAT-902H2Ultimate with It=20ms to integration camera WAT-120N with It=80ms. 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 21:47:15 UTC (+/- 8s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 6.8 seconds with a 5.6mag drop. Position was 112km from predicted central line in SSE direction between 1-sigma and 2-sigma limit with a probability of 5.5%. No occultation event detected (It=80ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 09 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.0 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 547.5MSL + 44.6 = 592.1 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
