Thanks for posting the summary Tony. I was able to get to Sunday and Monday and enjoyed both immensely.
This asteroid occultation research is heaps cool. You can do much-needed research that the professionals, with their limited number of fixed observatories, simply can't. Directly measuring the size of of an asteroid is impressive but measuring the density profile of Pluto's atmosphere or the size of a TNO is unreal. It's a pity that there are so few observers in Australia: the Americans and Europeans can muster enough observers to get some highly detailed outlines of the size and shape of asteroids.
