Just to be awkward...

I have observed an asteroid occultation by setting up one scope (complete with a video camera and VTI) and leaving it to run unattended while I drove 12km up the road to set up another telescope to observe the same event, thereby observing two chords across the asteroid. (See Aust. S&T October 2005 page 74)

You could say I imaging with the unattended scope and eyeball observed with the second... So to answer your question... Yep!
