TIMING & RECORDING Timekeeping: GPS 1PPS (US Global Sat EM-406A) Sensor/Camera: Videocamera WAT-120N+, CCIR, 1/2" Sony CCD-Sensor ICX419ALL Videocamera settings: Shutter mode=3, Gain=HI , Gamma=LO Device of recording: Personal computer, TV-AV PCI-TV7130, Composite-input Virtualdub software, saved on Harddisk Mode of recording: Integration time=0.160s, CCIR, Huffyuv Time insertion device: IOTA-VTI, v.1.1.42 7. OBSERVING CONDITIONS Atmospheric transparency: good/fair Wind: no Star image stability: good Minor Planet Visible: no 8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Limovie 0.9.29b was used to produce the lightcurve. A 0.45 gamma reverse correction was applied. Occular 4.00 was used to analyze the D and R times. Because of the use of a WAT-120N+ in shutter mode=3 (Integration time=0.160s) a correction of -0.110s was performed at the video inserted times in accordance to the correction value table published by G. Dangl.
