Don't forget Occultation of Saturn, Monday, 12 August 2019.

The Moon at 18:08pm AEST in Brisbane on Thursday 12 August just as Titan disappears. The left inset shows the telescopic view as Titan disappears behind the Moon and the right-hand as Saturn reappears at 19:34 AEST (click to embiggen).

Don't forget, Monday eveing (tomorrow) Saturn is occulted by the Moon in the early evening as seen from the east coast of Australia just around astronomical twilight.

The rest of Australia sees the Moon and Saturn very closetogether

Accurate timings of the occultation and spotter charts can be found at my occultation site.
