I know I would've read that Astronomy 2020 wasn't including printing lunar occultations tables this year, as they have done in all their previous editions but it is unfortunate that they decided not to . It is otherwise a fine yearbook of events in our night skies and I have every edition from 1997.
While observing lunar yesterday evening I did note that there was a bright star close to the limb and on checking found it to be Eta Leonis, after re-appearance. Also noted that it was between Regulus and Gamma, which gave a clue to which star it was. Have run a simulation on Stellarium and came up with a time, for the east coast, of 19:17pm for disappearance and 20:07pm for re-appearance .
Hope this info helps.
