An occultation will be visible from Washington next week on 21 March UT date. The star is 5.4 magnitude SAO 76215, VS 1321, HR1172. From new USNO at:
77 3 55.8 W
38 55 13.6 N
90.8m
I find, with no limb corrections, UT:
my calc, USNO NOVAS/DE405 Imm 1 46 45 Emm 2 48 20
Lunar Occultation Workbench 1 46 44 2 48 21
with limb corrections:
LOW 1 46 48 2 48 21
Occult 4 1 46 49 2 48 20
FORTRAN of my calc, LOW, and Occult 4 output attached.
I will be out looking for it. (It's like a very accurate lunar distance.)
(and thanks to M. Couette for the kind words!)
