Hi Lars,
Perhaps you have a WAT-902 ? Yes this could be used. My setup is:
Camera => GPSBOXSPRITE-3 (Time overlay) => Pinnacle Dazzle video digitizer (for W10/11) => Laptop with IOTA video capture.
Free software: IOTA capture, Tangra (Hristo Pavlov) for video analysis. (light curve and timed event).

There are on-line sources for brighter predictions E.G. asteroidoccultations.com, but I use OccultWatcher (free software) which takes predictions from a server. I then filter them down to the ones near me.

Happy to help out.

My setup in 1991 with DIY video. Your WATEC would have the same sensitivity.
