About this image

This was my first successful observation of an asteroid occultation - and it turned out to be a big one as well, lasting over 13 seconds. I have only recently started this type of observing activity and previously had three 'miss' no occultation events and one clouded out. The picture is a compilation of data gathered and identifying the correct star from Astromety Net.

Hopefully many more to come.
