Mode of recording: CCD drift-scan ("Winscan 207" software) Device of recording: CCD 7.OBSERVING CONDITIONS: Atmospheric transparency: fair. Wind: none at the observatory position. Star image stability: some turbulence because of low altitude star. Driftscan speed at 0,6s/pixel. Sampling: 1 pixel = 3,6 arcsec. 8. NOTES: The 14magV star, and its low sky position (airmass=1.9), obliged to increase the drift scan resolution to binning 3x3. It resulted a driftscan speed of 0,6s/pixel. With this speed I could get a low signal trace. By eye inspection of the trace I consider the time resolution of the drift-scan image no better than 10 pixels, ie. about 6s. No occultation occured in a temporal duration higher than this resolution.
