Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video recording with VirtualDub 1.10.0 running on HP notebook with W7/64Bit system. The recorded video file was corrected with VirtualDub to the right field combining sequence before analyzing with Tangra. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0 and Tangra v1.4.0.497. Because of the use of a WAT-120N in integration mode Frame8 (It=320ms), a correction of -190ms was performed at the times inserted in the video by the VTI. The correction value is according to measurements results with EXposure Time Analyzer - EXTA presented on web page http://www.dangl.at/exta/exta_e.htm. So all event times in this report are corrected times representing the real event times. Event data details according to the predictions from Occult Watcher IBEROC feed. Predicted event time was 21:20:07 UTC (+/- 8s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 10.7 seconds with a 0.7mag drop. Position was -269km from predicted central line in SE direction between path edge and 1-sigma limit with a probability of 35.1%. Occultation event with a duration of 7.04s detected (It=320ms). 3-D Position and timing GlobalSat EM-406A GPS Board Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.1 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 549.1MSL + 44.6 = 593.7 m in WGS84 datum) 2013/08/14 Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
