The cloud cleared nicely at Tinderbox south of Hobart. Not an occultation here in Tassie but it was equally inspiring in a different way to see the moon slip past Saturn. The point at which Saturn was directly above the south pole and directly in line with the terminator was spectacular. The south pole area and the terminator were rich in shadows and mountainous relief with Saturn appearing to hover directly above. Titan was just visible.
Cheers
Steve.
