SE Victoria
The guys in the SE have the occultation of the mag 8.3 star HIP 88776 by asteroid (84) Klio on 01 Jun 2010 , 17:08 UT. Unfortunately thats just after 3 am on the morning of Friday June 2nd. Most of the other occultations in my region of NE Melbourne are mag 10 or more. However, if YOU download OccultWatcher (http://www.hristopavlov.net/OccultWatcher/OccultWatcher.html ) yourself you can enter YOUR site and maybe locate a brighter star 'close' to YOU.
As is often the case, this event is close to several interesting objects, including M55, M22 and M62. This means that you can often fit an occultation (a few minutes set up and a few seconds event) into an observing or photo session. If you can, give it a try. Again this one can only be seen from Victoria (and a little bit of SE NSW).
Good Luck if you try and don't forget to submit a report to IOTA. They need it!
Regards
Ron
