I am a retired physical scientist, now exploring what can be done in amateur astrophotography. I will post some examples here.

Here is an occultation involving the asteroid 14 Irene and star TYC 1892-00151-1 on 11:00:33.2 pm Eastern, 22 Mar 2025. They are near the center. Total duration of occultation close to 8.4 secs.

Although it's normally claimed that one can't see stars in the Andromeda galaxy itself, this isn't entirely true. You can see a few 19th magnitude blue sprinkles at the upper left.
