Abstract: We present a collection of eclipse timings of eclipsing binary stars obtained over the extended time interval 2014-2024. In all observations, a DSLR camera was used as the detector. The presented dataset contains 250 previously unpublished minima of 86 eclipsing binary systems obtained at three observing sites. The minima were determined from calibrated light curves using the phenomenological modelling approach, and their uncertainties were estimated by bootstrap resampling. The presented measurements extend the available timing coverage of the observed systems and may contribute to future studies of orbital period variations and other long-term phenomena in eclipsing binaries.
