short blink at 04:05:28.00 (visual; time ±0.2s)
Comment : Carles Schnabel reports blink, but he isn't 100% sure about reality of that
event - he says it was "very probably due to tiredness". Almost the same is reported by Oscar Canales Moreno, but he is more sure about
reality of the blink. Times of both blinks don't correspond.

Comment : Best event this year. Observation on some places was influenced by clouds/haze/poor seeing;
curiously always was D missed and R was timed. Philippe Dupouy (Dax Observatory) provided kindly his composite image showing
the star field (on the left) with drift scan (on the right). The dropout and main events are marked. Profile of the
drift shows that the dropout didn't reached the level of full brightness drop of main event. This may be due to the short
duration of the dropout but atmospheric influence cannot be excluded.

Comment : Ricard Casas notes that the observation is very bad due at very low signal of minor planet.
Martin Federspiel's update supposed the path will pass north of Canary Islands so there may be really some problem here,
because the target star is a double.

Comment : The update showed up to be quite good. Carles Schnabel reports gradual D and R
with ~0.5 duration, while Eduard Masana reports instant D and R. I have given here the D and R times for Carles as those
corresponding to the 'totality', as I suppose the graduality may have been mimiced by a few seconds of unstable image as the
starfiled was rather low. Unfortunately observers are both close to each other and no shape can be derived from current reports.
Expected duration was 7.8 seconds, so they were near the path limit (north or south ?). Hope there will be more reports from Italy
where was good weather.

a slow scan CCD and computer driven telescope during the exposition (not a simple drift scan observation)- first uncorrected (with

Comment : Comparison of Casas's values with Goffin's chart shows the true path was close to the nominal
(although not identical) with occultation time ~1 minute earlier. From this the expected occultation time is around 21:05:15 UT for Marseille
while Piraux reported event around 21:07:38 UT. This is about 0.8" (or ~1500 km) from the main body. Although it cannot be excluded the event was
caused by true occultation by other body (asteroids satellite?) it doesn't seem much probable to me. As Joel states in his report 'subjective or a physiological
effect can explain it'. Occultation of the main bode was probably missed in fact because Joel started observing about 1 minute too late to see it.

drift scan observations with slow scan CCD cameras and evaluation of results (or try
this
machine translation to english).
