Summary of asteroidal occultations for 2021 - 31 December 2021

General overview of my observations of asteroid occultations in 2021.

The occultation of a star by asteroid 1995 YN - 25 November 2021

This time I captured very short asteroidal occultation. Computers was doing problems during all night. However, I am glad that I managed to again.

The occultation of a star by asteroid 2008 SP279 - 09 November 2021

This time I captured occultation of Jupiter Trojan. Probability was only 1.8%. And positive. Another occultation had probability over 98% and was negative. It is sometimes horrible. The occultation was with short reappearance the target in the middle of the occultations. According to Eric Frappa (thanks him for his help) it is asteroid with peanut shape and target star is a double star. So it was amazing.

The occultation of a star by asteroid Arlon - 26 September 2021

After several unsuccessful attempts failed by clouds, one positive hit - asteroid Arlon.

The occultation of a star by asteroid Goethe Link - 16 June 2021

Another successful asteroidal occultation. The diameter of the asteroid is at least over 10 km.

The occultation of a star by asteroid 2000 AY101 - 14 June 2021

The occultation of a star by asteroid Artemis - 09 June 2021

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.
