Caption: Figure 6.

Example images from the successful telescopes for the 2018 October 1 event (details are provided in Table 3). Reduced images from the two LCO-CPT 1 m telescopes show a low-level difference (background of a few tens of analog-to-digital units) between the two simultaneous readout channels, which is taken into account during the background subtraction process when generating light curves. The Pluto system and the occultation star (merged) are labeled, as well as the comparison stars used to derive the light curves.
