The occultation of a star by asteroid 1999 CH8 - 21 March 2025
Today I managed to record an asteroidal occultation by asteroid 1999 CH8. Estimated diameter of the asteroid is a little over 12km. The shape of the lightcurve shows a clear occultation with a good signal-to-noise ratio. It's a joy to do occultations like this.
