Faintest object visible on live video fields (It=320ms) was star 3UC251-027350, +13.8mag. Only Clear glass filter (Astronomik) for CCD protection was used. Video evaluation accomplished with VirtualDub1.9.7, AviSynth2.5 and Limovie0.9.29b. Predicted event time was 18:59:25 UTC for my observing position. Predicted maximum duration was 1.6 seconds. Position was 142km from central line in southeast direction. between path and 1-sigma line with a probability of 1.3%. No occultation detected (It=320ms). 3-D Position and timing Garmin GPS18x LVC Receiving 08 satellites Horizontal Dilution of Precision 1.1 Geoidal separation 44.5m (Altitude 560.0MSL + 44.5 = 604.5 m in WGS84 datum) Gerhard Dangl gerhard@dangl.at www.dangl.at/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
