As a heads-up to those members who don't frequent the occultation pages, 50000 Quaoar is due for an occultation with a mag. 14.1 star on the 11th April. The prediction has a large uncertainty so observations anywhere along the eastern part of Australia are very worth while.

Jacqui (Blue Skies) has put together a very comprehensive guide to occultation observing. It's well worth the read.

And yes, as Jonathan has mentioned, you never know what you might discover. If I recall correctly, Jonathan has one of only three occultation recordings of Eris. At 94 AU distance, that is one seriously cool feat.
