Besides taking pretty (open for interpretation 
pictures I used to spend some time doing asteroid occultation work. The other day David Dunham contacted me to attempt an event because the weather in Connecticut had cleared up. I was a little rusty but I succeeded in recording the event with my M110 with video camera, time stamp inserter (KIWI) and capture box. My initial analysis resulted in time stamps that closely matched a subsequent more rigorous statistical method. Here is a summary of the event. My ‘chord’ is number 9. Together with other measurements an estimate of the asteroid’s size was calculated.
