Pleiades occultation

[The Warthog]

I am planning to be outside at midnight when the moon starts occulting the Pleiades (Canadian Eastern Time) and I have noticed that the moon is quite bright, and the Pleiades aren't. The bright limb of the Moon will be occulting the Pleiades, so I am afraid I may not really see anything. I am planning to use my refractor, and to put a pale yellow filter on it to cut down the light transmission a bit, and remove the violet fringe, but does anyone have any advice to maximize my chances of seeing much in these conditions? (If it ain't cloudy?)

Set the scope on the Pleiades and let the Moon enter the field. It should be still pretty easy to watch the stars wink out, even in a small scope and given the brightness of the Moon. I'll be watching from Stone Haven, too. Good luck!

6.23 am is first contact in my location and it's becoming daylight then, if iam still up i will try and filter the daylight out and observe this a tough one from here though..

Good luck to you both and all.
