Howdy Bob,
Bill Hanna (formerly of Alice Springs) observed an occultation of Deimos on the 24th June 2014. He used a Meade LX90-8" with a f/3.3 focal reducer and a Point Grey Grasshopper Express 28S4M running at 30 fps. The target star was mag.8.9 and Deimos was just 20 arc-sec from its primary (Mars).
The image of the target and Deimos's light curve is attached.
Note this is not an imaging of Deimos, but the special case where Deimos obscures a bright star (well, in the occ world, mag.8.9 is insanely bright - most stars are around mag.13).
Regards,
