OBSERVING CONDITIONS Atmospheric transparency: Fair/Good Wind: None Star image stability: Good Minor Planet Visible: No 8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS The event with this 9.2magV star was placed favorably. The target was at 30deg above horizon. The pointing was done about 1h before the event and was easy. Some clouds covered the sky but cleared about 30s before the occultation. I could observe the event simultaneously with a Newton 40cm f/4 placed 2 meters apart, in the observatory. This second instrument was equipped with a 902H Supreme video camera and a IOTA-VTI time inserter. Both setups delivered the same occultation results. The Gnosca observatory was about 10km outside the south prediction line.
