Default Saturn's rings to occult 8th mag star tonight!

Well this isn't as bright as the one on July 3rd of '89 but it's
certainly worth watching. The show begins at about 11:45 PM CST on
friday, 11-14. There will be a similar event in the predawn hours of
11-25. We may be clouded out here in Chicagoland. This is certainly
worth videotaping to watch for periodic dimmings as it passes through
the various ringlets.

Thanks for the heads up! I was wondering just when that happens.
