Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished only visual with VirtualDub 1.10.0 and Fitswork 4.44 Because of the use of a WAT-120N CCIR 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. 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 IOTA (Steve Preston). Predicted event time was 19:34:30 UTC (+/- 18s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 11.1 seconds with a 2.3mag drop. Position was -113km from predicted central line in SSW direction between path edge and 1-sigma line with a probability of 14.6%. Occultation event detected with duration 3.2s +/-0.34s (It=0.32s). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 0.9 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 555.1MSL + 44.5 = 599.6 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
