   Other comments:
   -Target sky position: elevation = 48 deg, azimut = 119 deg
   -Tangra v. 3.7.4 was used to generate the lightcurve (aperture photometry, LP filter, median background). Time reference: Start Frame 
   -Measured lightdrop: 1.5 mag instead of 6 mag
   -SnR = 7.9
   -Many thanks to Eric Frappa for checking the data and refining the analysis
   -The lightcurve can be seen here:
