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 Shelyak TimeBox device (time error +0.164 s with 4 satellites, condisered in final results). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 50 ms, video time resolution 71 ms, image resolution 1024x768 px, gain 67. Recording: SHARPCAP v.3.2.6480.0 software. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: very good Wind: none Temperature: -15 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 remarkable drop of the star brightness caused by the asteroid. The star image was stable enough both for the occulted and a guiding star. The D and R times according to the AOTA analysis. Predicted max. 17.7 sec. duration with 2.0 mag. drop. Event probability at site : 100% Distance from center line : 80 km in 219° direction, inside the predicted path. Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 39°, @247° in Cancer. Moon (Alt, Az): 39°, @167°, elongation 61°, did not disturb the observation.
