:techie-computer:
I know that the moon will occult Tau Sagittarii on Sept. 6 and Mars on Dec. 8. Both should be visible from my location in Illinois. I don't know how to find more information about predicted times, other occultations, specific charts the outline the locations where occultations are visible, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
