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 6 satellites). Sensor: ZWO ASI 120MM, shutter set for 250 ms, video time resolution 250 ms, image resolution 640x480 px, gain 58, brightness 6. Recording: SHARPCAP v.4.0.8667.0 software. 7 OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: good Wind: none Temperature: -3 deg C Star image stability: good Minor planet visible: yes 8 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The light curve analyze using Tangra software showed a small drop of the star brightness caused by the asteroid. The star image was stable enough for the occulted star. Unortunately, no comparison star in the FOW. The D and R times according to the AOTA analysis. The observation was made inside the predicted path. The asteroid was brigther than the star. Predicted max. 11.4 sec. duration with 0.4 mag. drop. Event probability at site : 100% Distance from center line : 43.2 km in 219° direction, inside the predicted path. Local * conditions (Alt,Az): 26°, @218° in Virgo. Moon (Alt, Az): 19°, @207°, did not disturb observations much.
