The occultation of a star by asteroid 2001 SQ82 - 02December 2024
I was lucky in the beginning of December. I managed to make 6 positive occultations in three days. In one night there were 4 positive ones. I am probably the first in the world who managed to do that. I had triplets several times before. The last occultation (asteroid 2001 SQ82 with an estimated diameter of 4.6 km) had beautiful diffraction phenomena visible in the curve.
