[Lvas] Asteroid Occultation of TYC 2501-00817-1 by 70 Panopaea on 2008 Jan 12

Planned Observing Technique for Asteroid occultation of TYC-2501-00817-1 by
70 Panopaea on Jan.11

Method: video with frame analysis
Timing: gps - other linking (timestamp inserted)
Location: Redstone Picnic Area at Lake Mead (2241')

I found a timestamp for asteroid occultations through VirtualDub image
capture software. It will be accurate up to 1/30th of a second for this
event (at 30FPS).

See here my Mallincam Example Test Video with the new Timestamp:

The 30 arcminute field of view will look something like this:

and I'm hoping for no hardware malfunctions on Jan 11 at ~10:07pm. exciting.

Is anyone else planning to observe the asteroid occultation visually or with
a videocamera? if so, please share.
