Sure, lunar occultations have a long history in astronomy. Off the
top of my head, I know that there have been lunar occultation
observations of the Crab Nebula and at least some quasars (3C 273?).
I don't know if the observations were conducted in a manner that would
allow Stan to test his hypothesis, but it is a place to start.
