This is another tough event on a full moon night. However, the event is 7.0s long, so a 16x integration should be able to detect the star well, and the moon elongation is 71 degrees, so the sky should be not too bright.
Alt=25, az=297 in Triangulum

I could not get this from home; too low in the west - my bad direction. I got in my car and drove around, settling upon the lake (Westlake Park) below High Stree bordered by Spring St. I was on the road along the southeast side, and the dam, if extended, would intersect the road about 25 feet east of my scope. The target star was barely visible on the monitor at 8x, so I set at 16x. From the look of the data, 8x would have been quite fine, even 4x. There's often a translation not easy to tell, from the look on the monitor and the S/N on the light curve later.
There were cirrus clouds coming up from the west and had not yet interfered with the star as far as I could tell, but it may in fact still show on the light curve (and did, in the period after the event)..
PyOTE 5.6.0 used. 16x integration setting.

Observed from Water Truck Turn near his place, and visually saw a 3s event, at 8x setting.
