    For occultation timings I use the STV Astro from BlackBoxCamera  
    Company in the UK.  The last time I checked they said they were  
    holding off on making any more until demand increases (that may be the  
    one you referred to).
    
    Another popular inserter is the KIWI-OSD which is made in New  
    Zealand.  Info here:

    You might want to sign on to the International Occultation Timing  
    Association's listserve for more current information.
