There are a bunch of us astronomers in Oz still doing occultation work.
We almost all use video cameras and gps timing devices now which gives us superb data and has lead to many published discoveries over the last few years.
Grazes are still fun to do, but the current focus is on double star discovery and measurement through lunar occultation of which about half a dozen AU/NZ observers are doing - there is plenty room for more and you are sure to be added to the list of discovers name in the Washington Double Star (WDS) catalogue along side the rest of us
