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 8 satellites). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 189 ms, video time resolution 189 ms, image resolution 640x480 px, gain 50. Recording: SHARPCAP v.4.0.8667.0 software. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: very good Wind: none Temperature: -4 deg C Star image stability: very 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 clearly remarkable drop of the star brightness caused by the asteroid. The star image was stable both for the occulted and a guiding star. The D and R times according to the AOTA analysis. The asteroid was visible about 20 min before the event using larger exposure time (>2s). Predicted max.7.5 sec. duration with 3.5 mag. drop. Event probability at site : 93% Distance from center line : -0.5 km, inside the predicted path. Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 36°, @197° in Monoceros. Moon (Alt, Az): 58°, @226°, did not disturb the observation.
