In case you hadn't heard, there's a predicted (very rare) occultation of a 12th mag star in Leo by a binary asteroid this Thursday night (19th Feb). The shadow track cuts right across southern England (including my house :-))

A Google Maps picture of the shadow track available at http://www.poyntsource.com/New/Google/20090219_17281.HTM

More details also available at

Fingers crossed for this cloud to get out of the way in time...

cheers

Ian
