OBSERVING CONDITIONS Atmospheric transparency: good Wind: no Star image stability: good Minor Planet Visible: no 8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Software Tangra was used to analyze the AVI file. The telescope was pre-pointed to the target position about 1hour before the scheduled event time. The sky was clear during the preparation and all night long. Accordingly to Occultwatcher our position was 0.2km from the central line and had 46% probability of a positive event.
