Code HH:MM:SS.ss S.ss S.ss S - 20:26:30 - N/A 1.0 D - star brightness fluctuations only R - E - 20:28:00 - N/A 1.0 Duration : none Mid-event : none Predicted mid-event : 28 Feb;20:27:05 UT +/- 5 sec Was your reaction time applied to the above timings? 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 9 satellites). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 50 ms, video time resolution 50 ms, image resolution 1024x768 px, gain 63. Recording: SHARPCAP v.4.0.8395.0 software. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: good Wind: none Temperature: -1 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 no remarkable drop of the star brightness caused by the asteroid. This was an observation organized at a quite dark site in the city exactly on the predicted central line and has been performed without troubles. Predicted max. 1.0 sec. duration with 7.5 mag. drop. Event probability at site : 13.3% Distance from center line : 0.0 km, inside the predicted path. Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 57°, @240° in Auriga. Moon (Alt, Az): below the horizon.
