Scientific paper

The advent of low price, high sensitivity video cameras, coupled with milli-second accurate on-screen-time-displays gives the possibility of timing occultations to accuracies of the order of ±0.01 seconds. This in its turn raises the possibility of detecting diffraction effects as a star is occulted. How much in the way of diffraction it is likely to be possible to detect for lunar and for minor planets occultations will be discussed. This paper is based on one given at the 2005 RASNZ conference at Nelson.
