The show in the sky. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=495&lang=2 Another successful asteroidal occultation. The diameter of the asteroid is at least over 10 km. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=493&lang=2 http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=492&lang=2 Lovely weather, Sun eclipse – I love this combinations. I have captured a few shots for pleasure. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=490&lang=2 The weather forecast was predicted clouds during the whole night but satellite images was saying something else. So I decided to try to observe. And it was worth it - next positive asteroidal occultation. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=491&lang=2 This day was fantastic. Sunny weather was the whole day and night. During the day I was inside winter nature doing cross-country skiing and at night I was observing asteroidal occultation. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=486&lang=2 And this is the second positive occultation from night 26th-27th December 2020. It is the first captured occultation of a star by this asteroid in the world. So it was my next "double" night. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=489&lang=2 During this night I caught two positive asteroidal occultations. This is the first one of them. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=488&lang=2 A new positive asteroidal occultation after long time. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=487&lang=2 I have got a new positive occultation of asteroid 1975 SU1. Diameter of this asteroid is minimal 9.5km and it was the first captured occultation of a star by this asteroid in the world. http://www.astronomy.sk/?menu=485&lang=2
