Miracles can happen!

About this image

Four occultation events captured over just under seven nights. When I first was interested in this subject Tim Haymes was giving a presentation to my local astronomy society where he explained how over a ten year period he had been successful three times in capturing an occultation. The star maps have improved, the predictions have improved and the equipment we can use has improved. Even so it is the first time I have found that many succesful events in such a short space of time!
