I think the Occult program would make a better final judgement. It's designed for this sort of thing. My Lunar software will do a good (not great) job on occultations and eclipses, but it wasn't optimized for that function. If you enter 0 for lunar distance and check the "solve for time" box, it will calculate the contact time if your time input is close to the event. I have Occult on my desktop machine and might investigate this occultation. For an occasional user like me the program is not easy. -- Paul Hirose sofajpl.com
