I certainly plan to have a look early morning.
I will leave the scope set up and tracking for some ".. mad dog and Englishmen under the midday sun" observing. Closest approach is near 11.00am. I'll take a look about every hour to observe the changing separation and angular positions. So, definitely hoping for plenty of sunshine and attendant heat at this time of year..
