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 SLOW=1, Gain=max, Gamma=OFF Device of recording: Personal computer, Hauppage HVR-1700(PCI), S-video input Virtualdub software, saved on Harddisk Mode of recording: Integration time=0.040s, CCIR, Huffyuv Time insertion device: IOTA-VTI, v.1.1.42 7. OBSERVING CONDITIONS Atmospheric transparency: poor Wind: no Star image stability: good Minor Planet Visible: no 8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Tangra software was used to produce the lightcurve. Occular 4.00 was used to evaluate the D and R times. Because of the use of a WAT-120N+ in Shutter mode SLOW=1 (Integration time=0.040s) a correction of -0.050s was performed at the video inserted times.
