A presentation given at the Joint European National Astronomy Meeting (JENAM), sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society and held at the University of Hertfordshire on 2009 April 20-23. Visual timing of lunar occultations has been a staple "pro-am" activity for decades. But the last twenty years have seen huge developments in technology and observational techniques. In particular, highly sensitive video cameras have made it possible to video-record occultations of faint stars by asteroids. Larger telescopes have become popular among amateurs, precise video timing systems became available, and improved star catalogues, orbital elements, and modern computer technology have increased the quality and quantity of predictions.
