Hi Dave, I was in the I.A.S. during the 90's. I and a few others set up our t'scopes at Fairy Meadow (Nth.W'gong), for the 4th Oct 1998 Jupiter/Moon occultation. We set-up at about 4pm & watched the whole event. We even saw, (I think it was Ganymede first), appear, then Jupiter and finally about 3 to 4 mins. later, the other 3 moons. The seeing on the day was steady and clear. Jupiter's bands stood out so well that we even made out details in the cloud structure. All in all a very well spent 4 hrs on a Sunday afternoon.
Will be watching on the 27th. We only get a partial this far north, but I hope you get a great show.
