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 Steve Preston. Predicted event time was 20:56:45 UTC (+/- 9s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 6.3 seconds with a 3.9mag drop. Position was 117km from predicted central line in NNE direction between path edge and 1-sigma line with a probability of 13.6%. No occultation event detected (It=20ms). 3-D Position and timing GlobalSat EM-406A GPS Board Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.3 Geoidal separation 44.6m (Altitude 554.4MSL + 44.6 = 599.0 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
