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 +0.000 s with 7 satellites). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 116 ms, video time resolution 116 ms, image resolution 1280x960 px, gain 85. Recording: SHARPCAP v.4.0.8395.0 software. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: average Wind: none Temperature: -6 deg C Star image stability: good Minor planet visible: yes 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. This was my second occultation by Adorea in two weeks (the previous one on Dec. 27, 2021) and the first positive asteroidal occultation made at the Lodz Planetarium in history. Predicted max. 12.6 sec. duration with 1.7 mag. drop. Event probability at site : 100% Distance from center line : -3.6 km in 196° direction, inside the predicted path. Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 50°, @226° in Cancer. Moon (Alt, Az): below the horizon.
