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: GPS Shelyak TimeBox for adjusting the Lenovo laptop clock; A time correction established in relation do the 1pps TimeBox diode pulses: minus 0.03s (-30 ms). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 258 ms, image resolution 1024x768 px, gain 77. Recording: SHARPCAP v.3.2.6480.0 software. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: average Wind: none Temperature: +21 deg C Star image stability: average Minor planet visible: no 8 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The light curve analyze using Tangra software and a careful inspection of the screen replay showed a distinct drop of the star brightness caused by the asteroid. The star image was not very stable both for the occulted and guiding stars. Thin clouds and haze, magnitude loss about 2 mag. The D and R times according to the AOTA analysis. The observation was sure. Predicted max. 9.2 sec. duration with 2.5 mag. drop. Distance from center line : 49 km in 146° direction, inside the predicted path. Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 19°, @170° in Sagittarius Moon: at the horizon (moonset) Sun altitude: -16°
