Pluto Occults a Star
Back on 22nd June Pluto passed in front of a fairly obscure star UCAC2 25370733 as seen from Australia. This is a fairly rare event (as well as being technically difficult), and Australian observers were excited about seeing it. Sadly, many locations were clouded out, but Dave Gee was able to record the occultation from the Blue Mountains near Sydney, and even made a movie of it. Go have a look! Steve Kerr also picked up the Pluto Occultation from Rockhampton.
