Those with suitable instruments and a CMOS planetary camera might like to record Titan Occult a star. This is a rare event. (28 Sgr in 1986 over UK/Europe will be remembered well). An explanation and call for observations is announced in the JOA 2022-3 (page5) written by Oliver Kloes (IOTA-es).. Open the Journal (free download) at https://www.iota-es.de/ for information on this event on July 9th. The place to be would be The Bahamas, but the shadow covers a very wide area as will be seen in Figure-1. There is more information in the references.
There will be a 0.6 magnitude drop during the long occultation with the possibility of a central flash if you are near the center line – unfortunately i cant be there myself, but i expect (hope) that recordings will be made public in due course.
