I had a nice clear sky and the target star had cleared the nearby roof tops. I used an old 50mm f/1.7 SLR camera lens attached to my Watec 910 video camera via a Pentax-K C-mount adapter.

As well as being a useful observation, a recording of the occultation would have been a good opportunity to promote this subject. Unfortunately, no disappearance was recorded. The asteroid's shadow path decided to go elsewhere...
