The Occult Watcher – RIO feed has been updated and it includes an event involving Jupiter’s moon Elara which will occult a mag 12.1 star 21st Feb 15:12 to 15:47 UT = early hours Wednesday morning.
The shadow path crosses;
- New Zealand’s north island - centred on Rotorua - 1-Sigma = Whangarei to Palmerston North
- Australia’s east coast, centred on Wollongong – 1-Sigma = Bulahdelah to Cooma
then passes near West Wyalong, Broken Hill, Port Augusta, Mount Magnet
- Australia’s west coast near Geraldton.
The moon is 42’ from Jupiter at the time so glare shouldn’t be a problem.
The event is available on your next Occult Watcher update or by visiting
