Dennis you are a champion - that star certainly would seem to fit the bill!!
I'm a newbie and have no idea how to judge magnitudes, so unless I have a known similar mag object nearby I'm stumped - I would have thought it was maybe a mag 9 or 10 star or so, but I'm obviously way out. Next to a fair sized wedge of illuminated moon appearances can be deceiving and everything looks dim by comparison!

This was my first lunar occultation so it was an exciting moment, to see it happen so spur of the moment that way, but now at least I know what object to put in my observing log.

Thanks Dennis!
