It's incredible how rare these events are, and even more so how localised the shadow path. This year, only two events involving TNO's have been detected by the combined professional and amateur communities, and both of those events have been me! I'm the only person on Earth this year to measure a TNO. And from my back yard, I find that amazing.

14" Meade LX200 @ f2 using Hyperstar. Under sampling is the key to occultation observing - the images are not so pretty, but the S/N ratio is fantastic
