Hi Shaun,

To view the mag 12 Pluto occ of the 29th June, you'd need something like an 8" telescope, preferably with a camera like a G-Star EX or a Watec 120N low light video camera.

To make the visual interest into a scientific recording that will help professional astronomers learn more about Pluto and its environs, you'd also want a video time inserter and some means to record video, e.g. a framegrabber or a video recorder.

Have a look at Blueskies (Jacquie)'s excellent document on occultations How To at the following link:-

And keep us posted on what you do !

Regards,
