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=medium; Gamma=1.00 Personal computer, Imaging Source DFG/SV1 PCI, S-video, CCIR, Virtualdub software, saved on Harddisk, Lagarith Timekeeping: GPS 1PPS (US Global Sat EM-406A) Time insertion device: IOTA-VTI, v.1.1.42 Integration time: 0.640s 7. OBSERVING CONDITIONS Atmospheric transparency: bad, with thin clouds and Moonlight Wind: no Star image stability: good-fair Minor Planet Visible: yes 8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS -Tangra v.3 software was used to produce the lightcurve. -A correction of -0.340 s was performed because of the use of an integrating camera. -During pre D and post R the signal of the star is saturated, but not during the event. -Accordingly the lightcurve, the D is quite evident and sharp. The R was slower and less evident. -A lightcurve can be seen here: http://sposetti.ch/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/2015_Mar_9_Nemausa_Sposetti.png
