419 Aurelia occults mag. 11.2 star - Saturday Night 8th Jan.

There is a beaut event for 11:52pm (Sydney time) Saturday night. See...

Of course we need more observers and stations than the 4 and 5 already announced on Occult Watcher.

This is a perfect event for the Auckland and Adelaide regions as well as Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Bathurst and Mudgee regions.

Ideally, you will need a good access to Universal Time (UT) - GPS with 1PPS, Beeper Box synchronised with BeeperSync, shortwave radio tuned to WWVH, however, for those lacking a good UT timebase, simply report the event duration to the best of your ability, the aproximate event times based on NTP time servers or a GPS, and your geographic coordinates.

C'mon, the more the merrier!
