    Hi, I dont keep regular stats but the best month was November in terms of clear nights. Imaging took place on 11 clear evenings, and a number of Lunar occs were timed in Jan, Feb, Mar and Nov.  My tally for asteroid occultation observations over the year indicates a success rate of 8%.  I have also monitored more low probability events (small objects) this year than in past years.  All timings were reported to IOTA

    In all 46 Negative (no occultation) and 4 very nice Positives asteroid events have been recorded.  So a good year for me.

    The 12 observations from UK are on EURASTER.NET. What a great night and great result for UK observers ! The profile of the asteroid can be seen on the link to chords for Sapientia.  Peter Carson’s observation is chord 15. 

    My video is also on YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0lpfz_S5Js

    The asteroid is just visible with the star occulted.  [OO 30cm F/4, WAT-910HX, 0.08sec, GPSBOXSPRITE2]
