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 10 satellites). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 50 ms, video time resolution 50 ms, image resolution 640x480 px, gain 50, brightness 13. Recording: SHARPCAP v.4.0.8667.0 software. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: very good Wind: none Temperature: +2 deg C Star image stability: good Minor planet visible: yes (after disappearance) 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. The observation was made outside the predicted path. Between D and R the asteroid was clearly visible, much brighter than predicted 15.8 mag. Recorded mag. drop was of 1.5 only. Predicted max. 0.5 sec. duration with 7.7 mag. drop. Event probability at site : 9.0% Distance from center line : 20.5 km in 168° direction, outside the predicted path, inside the plus 1-sigma zone. Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 37°, @170° in Virgo. Moon (Alt, Az): below the horizon.
