Hi Stephen,
A grazing occultation can be most impressive and an amazing event to experience.
Back in 2008, I think, along with fellow Broken Hill IIS'er Kevnool I was part of a team involved in timing a grazing occultation of Antares.
We were positioned along the path of the graze by Dave Herald about 100 km up the Tibooburra road and it was just amazing to see Antares disappear and reappear several times as it went behind various mountains along the limb of the Moon. At the same time we had beep box's synchronized for our time signal while we recorded our obs on tape. A most memorable experience indeed, which your animation reminded me of.
Regards
Trevor
