[AZ-Observing] Re: Saturnian Occultation and the rest of the morning sky.

What the hell is a verdin? Is there one on the moon? :-)

The sunspot number for today is 291, but that includes several factors in
the equation. Still in sunspot max cycle.

Do you mean 11:00 or 5:00 position for Titan?  Don't forget to watch Venus
with a crescent moon on the morning of the 15th!  (JOMA)

Libration is a monthly oscillation up-down and side-to-side. Some libration
zone lunar objects are included in the SAC Best 110 Lunar Objects list as
challenges. -Place shameless plug here-

I think we should print T-Shirts to commemorate this event!!!
