Bronislawa Sposetti 11mar2005 (1315)Bronislawa_11mar2005.jpg In the night of March 11th 2005 at 22:45 UT, I captured the stellar occultation of the 15mag asteroid (1315)Bronislawa. The 10 mag occulted star was TYC 0799-01487-1. I captured the event with a 40cm newtonian telescope and a CCD camera using the technique of drift scan imaging from my location at Gnosca in Switzerland. In the center of the image the 10mag star and down left the 15mag asteroid. I made this image roughly 1 hour before the occultation. In the occultation image, the horizontal trace shows the 9,1s brightness fall of the occulted star. North is up, East is left
