Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0, Tangra v1.4.0.497 Event data details according to the predictions from EAON. Predicted event time was 01:39:00 UTC (+/- 5s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 2.2 seconds with a 3.5mag drop. Position was 153km from predicted central line in SSE direction between path edge and 1-sigma limit with a probability of 8.6%. No occultation event detected (It=160ms). 3-D Position and timing GlobalSat EM-406A GPS Board Receiving 07 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.3 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 546.9MSL + 44.6 = 591.5 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
