I especially enjoy imaging asteroid occultations, due to the precision required. 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.

I did some editing to remove many of the foreground (Milky Way galaxy) stars from my image of M31. 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.
