The Moon at 23:07pm ACST in Adelaide wanting east on Thursday 27 June simply as Saturn reappears. The inset exhibits the binocular view as Saturn reappears (click on to embiggen). The Moon at 23:47pm AEST in Brisbane wanting east on Thursday 27 June simply as Saturn reappears. The inset exhibits the binocular view as Saturn reappears (click on to embiggen). The Moon at 23:39pm AEST in Canberra wanting east on Thursday 27 June simply as Saturn reappears. The inset exhibits the binocular view as Saturn reappears (click on to embiggen).

On the night of Thursday, June 27, between 11pm and midnight  there’s an occultation
of Saturn. The second of three occultations seen from Australia this 12 months. This
finest as a binocular and telescope occasion. The Moon could have simply risen, so this
will likely be tough for telescopes.

The trail of the occultation, taken from the the IOTA site 

This occultation is seen from the jap states from Cairns to
Melbourne. and a part of central Australia.

In the remainder of Australia the Moon and Saturn will likely be very shut when the Moon rises.  

Begin watching about half an hour beforehand to get arrange and acquainted
with the sky. Saturn will disappear behind the intense limb of the Moon very near the horizon. In Cairns, Melbourne and Adelaide the Moon will rise with Saturn behind the Moon, you have to a stage, unobscured horizon to see the occultation. 

Once more, because the Moon is near the horizon when ingress happens will probably be tough to get telescopes to level that low, and binoculars will likely be required. By the point Saturn reappears the Moon will likely be larger (round 15°) so telescopes could also be profitable.  As Saturn reappears from behind the darkish limb of the moon this must be fairly dramatic.

Imaging Saturn and the Moon collectively will likely be a problem, because of the variations in brightness, once more nonetheless, as Saturn seems from behind the darkish limb, some over publicity of the Moon is not going to actually have an effect on Saturn. You have to a excessive ISO (3200 to 1600) to have a brief sufficient publicity time to cease Saturn from trailing. Strive training the evening or morning earlier than to get an concept of your cameras/cellphones efficiency. You have to a tripod in your digicam or binoculars, and presumably some wy to connect the digicam to binoculars or telescope (devoted newbie astronomers will have already got this equipment). See this submit for some examples.
