N/A 5 TELESCOPE: Type: Cassegrain Aperture: 203mm Magnification: --- Mount: Equatorial Motor drive: YES Foc.length: 2032mm reduced to 1016mm 6 TIMING & RECORDING: Time source: NTP via Dimension4 using the time server "vega.cbk.poznan.pl", laptop-time synchronized better than 0.01s, response of about 10 Polish ntp time servers checked evry one minute with the use of the professional software by T.Kluwak, regarding the time offset and resopose delay (both of low value and stable - offset +0.009s, delay 0.03s at 00:10-00:11); additional time correction based on DCF77 receiver with blinking 1PPS diode applied -an offset of -0.03s to the laptop synchronised time has been considered in final results. Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 80 ms, image resolution 640x480 px, gain 100, brightness 18, (a faint occulted star due to weather conditions). Recording: SharpCap v.3.1.5220 software, gamma 1.5, effective time resolution: 0.400 s. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: good but humid with a haze Wind: none Temperature: 15 deg C Star image stability: good Minor planet visible: no 8 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Very humid environment after intense rainfalls, a small haze and bright Moon on the opposite part of the sky, moisture accumulating on optical parts and other equipment. The light curve analyze using Tangra software with gamma of 2.5 (faint star, however, of a good stability), the dis- and reappearance clearly noticed on screen during the observation and the recording analyze. Predicted max 3.0 sec duration with 5.3 mag drop. Event probability at site : 68% Distance from center line : 60 km Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 21°, @57°
