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: Laptop time controlled by the GPS TimeBox device (time error 0.000 s). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 100 ms, image resolution 1024x768 px, gain 71. Recording: SHARPCAP v.3.2.6383.0 software 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: good Wind: none Temperature: +19 deg C Star image stability: good Minor planet visible: no 8 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Star faint. The light curve analyze using Tangra software and a careful inspection of the screen replay showed no longer remarkable rapid drop of the star brightness caused by the asteroid. The star image was stable enough both for the occulted and a guiding star; so there was no occultation longer than 0.1s and the observation has been classified as negative. Predicted max 0.7 sec duration with 6.0 mag drop. Event probability at site : 8.6 % Distance from center line : 46 km in 133° direction, outside the predicted path, inside the 1-sigma limit Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 21°, @192° in Capricornus Moon below the horizon.
