Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub 1.10.0 and Tangra 3.5.9 Because of the use of a WAT-120N CCIR in integration mode Frame4 (It=160ms), a correction of -110ms 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 in UTC. Event data details according to the predictions from IOTA (Steve Preston). Predicted event time was 23:38:13 UTC (+/- 2s) for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 3.8 seconds with a 3.1mag drop. Position was 22km from predicted central line in WNW direction between center line and path edge with a probability of 77.9%. Two occultation events with short star reappearance between detected.
