The idea of crowdsourcing the occultation data is used by the eVscope telescope, a small (11cm mirror) telescope that replaces the optical viewfinder with a Sony IMX224 sensor. Despite being expensive, it had successful kickstarter campaigns and via its app you can join campaigns with your telescope and contribute to science. Kinda neat.
