Hello,

Another nice event is coming up for India and Pakistan
5.6 magnitude star 49 Leonis will be occulted by the moon today on
June 20, 2007

It should be a good binocular event, with lunar phase less than 35 percent
one should be able to get reappearance too.

India has lot of monsoon clouds hovering over, likely to occult the
event itself.

Here are not so close, within a minute, predictions

Station disapp. Reapp
Bangalore 9:02 10:07
Bombay 8:49 9:55
Kolkata 9:04 9:44
Jaipur 8:44 9:36
Chennai 9:04 10:07
Delhi 8:46 9:31
Pune 8:50 9:55


Karachi 8:02 9:10
Lahore 8:08 9:52

I used skymap pro (www.skymap.com) to get the timing.
You may do the same.

For people west of Pakistan – one might make an attempt to check daytime
visibility of the star, using a telescope.
