Occultation of Antares by the Moon July 14, 2008

On Monday night July 14, 2008 the moon will occult Antares. This occultation is visible from southern parts of Australia (including Sydney) and all of New Zealand.

Immersion (or disappearance) of Antares will occur about 22:00 AEST for Sydney, and about 18:20 AWST for Perth.

Emersion (or reappearance) of Antares will occur about 23:01 AEST for Sydney, and about 19:38 AWST for Perth.

Checkout the map from the Astronomical Almanac Online to see if you can view the occultation: http://asa.hmnao.com/cgi-bin/occnwdo...s&body=Antares

Let us know if you are planning to observe or image this event, and post your observations here.

Al.
