TELESCOPE Type: Schmidt-Cassegrain, Celestron 11-inch Aperture: 280mm Focal length: 930mm (with focal reducer) Magnification: FOV 23x18arcmin Mount: Equatorial Motor drive: Yes 6. TIMING & RECORDING Timekeeping: KIWI-OSD with GPS Garmin 18 LVC Sensor/Camera: Videocamera WAT-120N+, CCIR, 1/2" Sony CCD-Sensor ICX419ALL Videocamera settings: Shutter mode=SLOW 5, Gain=max , Gamma=OFF Device of recording: Personal computer, Imaging Source DFG/SV1 PCI, S-video, Virtualdub software, saved on Harddisk Mode of recording: Integration time=0.640s, CCIR, Huffyuv Time insertion: KIWI-OSD 7. OBSERVING CONDITIONS Atmospheric transparency: good Wind: none Star image stability: fair Minor Planet Visible: yes 8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Elevation of the target star about 22deg. Tangra 1.4 and Occular 4.00 were used to analyze the lightcurve. A correction of -0.35s was used because of the use of the integration camera Watec 120N+. A measured lightdrop of 0.59mag instead of a predicted 0.48mag was found. A lightcurve is here: http://www.sposetti.ch/images/stories/News/2013_AUG_10_Adorea.png
