Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Due to the low star elevation on hazy sky the star signal was relative weak. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0, Tangra v1.4.0.497 Event data details according to the predictions from Steve Preston. Predicted event time was 20:26:47 UTC (+/- 9s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 2.9 seconds with a 5.6mag drop. Position was 352km from predicted central line in WSW direction between 1-sigma and 2-sigma limit with a probability of 2.9%. No occultation event detected (It=20ms). 3-D Position and timing GlobalSat EM-406A GPS Board Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.0 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 556.1MSL + 44.6 = 600.7 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
