Hi Tony,

after a 842km round trip, all I can report is that the sky was perfectly clear at West Wyalong and that I observed a miss, my light "curve" is below. also attached is an image I took about 1 3/4 hours before the event showing Pluto appulsing the star. Warning - it's mirrored.

The good news is that Alan Gilmore and Brian Loader reported - "We saw the occultation at Mt John last night, using Brian's Watec 120N camera on the 1-metre telescope."
