No occultation detected (It=1.28s) Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used Target star TYC 5611-00652-1 at 05deg Elevation was reported as +11.9mag but video record shows the star seems to be much fainter in the range up to +13mag. Limit on recorded video fields without editing was target star. 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18 LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.3 Geoidal separation 44.4m (Altitude 561.2MSL + 44.4 = 605.6m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
