I finally took a photo after a long time, I know ... http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=482&lang=2 I have managed to catch another positive asteroidal occultation again. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=480&lang=2 Lunar Eclipse is a beautiful show in the sky. However, only part of the show was without clouds. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=481&lang=2 http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=455&lang=2 After longer time I have managed to observe a new asteroidal occultation. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=479&lang=2 I have prepared an article about asteroidal occultations during last Christmas. If you do not know what it is or you would like to try it. This short text will help you (I hope). http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=417&lang=2 And double hit again. This night was beautiful clear and successful. After midnight I have caught another asteroid occultation with my camera - Hidalgo. It is a centaur. It is music for my astronomical soul. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=478&lang=2 Three weeks ago I cut down the plum because of this asteroid and I was not successful. I was out of the shade about 3.5 km. But this time I caught him. It was my 30th positive occlusion. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=477&lang=2 So I have got another one to the collection http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=476&lang=2 The weather was unstable. In spite of that I managed to catch a gap among clouds for the right moment so I could record the next positive occultation this year. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=475&lang=2
