Equipment:
C11 with GBC505e video camera unfiltered
I imaged the Mare Tranquilitatas region from 0251-0337UT on 14 Dec.
1999. Only the events seen by Steve Hendrix (submitted to IOTA)
overlapped this window. Due to severe scattered light on the tape
magnitude limits could not be accurately determined. Away from the moon
this limit is m(r)=11 and m(v)=10.5. The two times of the possible
events were 02:54:40 and 03:17:52 UT. No position was given. Since WWV
was on the audio track it was relatively easy to pinpoint the times.
Inspection of the tape for some seconds (~10) before and after the
listed events showed no events for that time, using this system in the
region observed.
Best,
Rik
