Observed drop: 0.5 mag (measured graphically in AOTA). The applied approximate recording delay (40 ms) was based on the report for similar hardware configuration and the same USB setting and similar exposure, published by Pierre Le Cam on http://www.nocturno.fr/ost/ost.html . IBEROC feed (2021/08/26): Event time: 22:29:56 UT Error in time: 2 s Max duration: 1.1 s Star magnitude: 15.0 m Asteroid magnitude: 15.4 m Combined magnitude: 14.4 m Magnitude drop: 1.0 m Position: In the shadow, <1 km from the central line Probability: 69.2 %
