Heads up Lunar occultation of a star

[Stu]

Moon about to occult a star...

I might have just caught it on these images, taken with my old Lumix FS-7 on a tripod, not the best but it will do

Sorry for my hopelessly non specific post! I actually have searched back through SkySafari and can't specifically identify which one it was! There seem to be quite a few being occurred by the dark limb of the moon which is great to see. They just wink out instantly as they pop behind the limb.

Worth looking out for more tonight.

Not totally sure because of the time but I think it was this mag 7.7 star, HD212123. I might, however be completely wrong

That was the star that Stellarium shows being occulted by the Moon as well.

I got it to be Sigma Aquarii  HD 213320 a Blue Giant visual Mag. 4.8.
It is a Double too, If it's the right one. that is, I may have the wrong one.
What time is First Contact ? 

Sigma Aquarii ingress totally at 19:46 That has to be approximate. as it is difficult with the
rugged  lunar terrain playing hide and seek with the point source.
