Sorry to go off topic a little.
Steve, I was aware of the occultation of Saturn on the 23/5 but when studying the mechanics ! it meant that the moon was only about 15 deg. above the horizon, almost setting behind the hilltops. Being so low and Saturn being quite faint I didn't think it was a viable observing opportunity.
As for the Jupiter occultation on the 23/1/20, if you have the backyard where you can align the mount during darkness and leave it set up so that GoTo can find the target when nearing the time of the occultation, that will take some of the pain out of the exercise. Maybe something like a beach umbrella providing shade may help a well.
