Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video recording with VirtualDub 1.9.11 running on HP i5 notebook with W7P/64Bit system Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0 and Tangra v1.4.0.496 Event data details according to the predictions from Steve Preston. Predicted event time was 21:42:37 UTC (+/- 23s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 5.1 seconds with a 3.5mag drop. Position was 155km from predicted central line in NE direction between path edge and 1-sigma limit with a probability of 8.9%. No occultation event detected (It=20ms). 3-D Position and timing GlobalSat EM-406A GPS Board Receiving 06 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.1 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 548.4MSL + 44.6 = 593.0 m in WGS84 datum) 2013/04/22 Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
