TIMING & RECORDING Timekeeping: KIWI-OSD with GPS Garmin 18 LVC Sensor/Camera: Videocamera WAT-910HX, CCIR, 1/2", ICX429ALL sensor Videocamera settings: Shutter=x32; Gain=41dB; Gamma=1.00 Device of recording: Personal computer, Imaging Source DFG/SV1 PCI, S-video, Virtualdub software, saved on Harddisk Mode of recording: Integration time=0.64s, CCIR, Huffyuv Time insertion: KIWI-OSD 7. OBSERVING CONDITIONS Atmospheric transparency: good/fair Wind: no Star image stability: good Minor Planet Visible: no 8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS - Some clouds interrupted the view of the target. - At 17:55:43.43 ±0.32s the signal of the target dimished by about 50%. This lasted only 1 (one) integration time, ie. 0.64s. The comparison stars didn't showed this behaviour. A correction of -0.34s was made because of the use of the integration camera Watec 910HX.
