Moon Occults Mag +2.1 Star - 2021 JUN 24-25

[CentaurZ]

A Full Moon (barely waning gibbous) will occult (cover) the magnitude +2.1 star Nunki (Sigma Sagittarii) for observers in western North America and the North Pacific Ocean during the night of 2021 JUN 24-25. Nunki is the 6^th brightest star than can be occulted by the Moon

The immersion will occur on the lunar bright limb, with emersion from the dark limb. Lucky observers on a graze path can witness the star passing through lunar hills and valleys. Those between of the two graze paths will see a full occultation.

Photos and descriptions of the occultation would be welcome additions to this thread. If you would like specific occultation or graze predictions for your location, please reply to this post with your longitude, latitude, elevation and time zone.
