The IOTA Web site lists occultations of stars by planets and their moons for 2002 at: http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/planets2002/ploccult.htm Only one event is listed for Jupiter and none for Saturn. Is there a better site out there with this information? I know that Voyager III software, at least, has a conjunction search feature in which the user inputs a maximum separation and date range. It crunches away, and lists all of the close approaches. I'm pretty sure the Full Moon won't have any effect on the visibility of the star. The real difficulty lies in seeing a 10th-magnitude star an arcsecond away from a 1st-magnitude planet, as several of us observed Thursday morning.
