This is a very faint event, but it lasts a 5.8s on the centerline, and so in a dark sky should be easy. However, it's 38 degrees from an almot full moon. A challenge. Mag drop=2.5. Given the noise of a full moon'd sky, expect the event to probably not reach to 2.5 magnitude down.
Alt = 36, Az=146, in Virgo
Observed from outside carport. I got a 2.4 sigma detection at 16x, centered right on the predicted event time of 10:02:38 UT. It's messy. I could not go to 32x as I perhaps wanted, because the star was then swamped by the sky background. Still, getting a 14.4 magnitude star at 2.9s duration so close to a full moon is something of a good score.
