Just double checked it with Stellarium. Wound Stellarium forward to 18/2 and it is showing ocultation starting at @2110 local time with reappearance after 0020 below the horizon.
Either way, its going to be difficult to see, let alone record.
dissapointing.

I think there's some bad info there Rod. The first times you quote are right but 12:10am is before moonset tonight. Should be 5 degrees altitude. Stellarium is way off.
Might all be academic anyway, depending how fast the incoming cloud bands move. Hoping for the best!
