Moon and Jupiter Occultation

Hi

Many of you will be aware of the Moon Occultating Jupiter this Sunday night Feb, 27.

For those in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia. You should see a Occultation or a graze or near miss

For details look in the Astronomy 2005 ( a must have )
Or use your Planetarium programmes.

In over 30 years in this hobby i have never seen the Moon pass in front of Jupiter so i can't wait. I have seen a Mars and Venus Occultation

My plan is to set up with some friends we will use 3 Apo Refractors one 4" and two 5". One will have my CCD video camera with images put through to a TV.

I hope we catch a few snap shots of the TV and if any good I'll post them later on this thread.

I hear Geoff has a new scope on the way, so if its cloudy watch out Geoff

Only kidding

Well lets prey The weather gods are kind to us.

I hope to hear your reports.
